    Russia and Armenia to form fund for humanitarian cooperation



    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.
