Constantine Kosachev, head of Rossotrudnichestvo, is on a two-day
visit to Armenia to meet Russian compatriots, Armenian counterparts
responsible for humanitarian cooperation in education, culture, attend
the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Yerevan, discuss
prospects for cooperation with Armenian cities, News Armenia reports.
The Russian official noted that he met Armenian president, ministers
of foreign affairs, education and science, culture and economy.
Kosachev proposed formation of a bilateral fund for humanitarian
cooperation. A similar structure has been formed for the CIS, the
Interstate Fund forHumanitarian Cooperation.
A bilateral fund has good prospects. Success of the new structure
would allow creation of such funds with other states.
Kosachev said that Armenian president visited Moscow and signed an
agreement on humanitarian cooperation. The framework agreement should
be backed by a program of joint actions for 2013-2016.
Rossotrudnichestvo will compose one, the official said.
The sides discussed hosting the second Russian-Armenian interregional
forum in Yerevan for innovative industrial enterprises of Russian
regions in October.
The first such forum was held in Yerevan on April 18-19, 2011,
supported by the Russian and Armenian presidential administrations.
Over 500 officials took part in the forum.
Kosachev wants more attention to Russian companies in Armenia. He
believes that Armenian legislature needs modernization.
The head of Rossotrudnichestvo will present the Armenian content of
the website of his organization in Armenia. He will meet active
cooperators of his organization, lay flowers to the memorial tree to
mark the 185th anniversary of the Oshakan Battle (Russian-Persian War)
and attend the start of the Russian-Armenian youth marathon.
