Turkmenistan, Armenia presidents to discuss trade and economic cooperation
ASHGABAT November 29
Turkmenistan's President Gurbanguly begins a two-day visit to Armenia
on Thursday.
"Over past 20 years, our countries have developed an intergovernmental
dialogue and mutually advantageous cooperation, which has big
potential," Berdymukhamedov told the government's meeting.
Turkmenistan's governmental press service said the summit talks and
the intergovernmental meeting will result in signing of a "big packet
of documents to lay reliable legal basis and to provide favourable
conditions for effective cooperation in the social and economic
development of the two countries."
One of the key topics of the negotiations would be supplies of
electric energy to Armenia via the territory of Iran. This project has
been discussed over two years already - since the time Armenia's
President Serzh Sargsyan visited Ashgabat in November of 2010. Next
time the project was discussed was during the fourth, latest, meeting
of the Armenia-Turkmenistan intergovernmental commission in Erevan in
September of 2011.
During the upcoming visit, Turkmenistan's president will have
negotiations with Chairman of Armenia's National Council Ovik
Abramyan.
Turkmenistan and Armenia established diplomatic relations in 1992.
Over the past years, the two countries have formed a bilateral legal
base, which unites 64 documents of various levels.
