The Delegation of the Nizhny Novgorod region, headed by Governor
Valery Shantsev, visited Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, to take
part in the third Russian-Armenian interregional forum. A number of
cooperation agreements were signed after the event.
"The development of trade and economic relations between Russia and
Armenia is based on historically strong and multilateral industrial and
scientific- technical ties, joint strategic interests and cultural
connections between our peoples. In this context, I positively
estimate the prospects for the development of relations between our
region and Vayots Dzor region and Armenia on the whole," said Shantsev.
Representatives of Armenia share the position of the Nizhny Novgorod
governor. Sales representative of the Republic of Armenia in the
Russian Federation, Karen Asoyan, told Pravda.Ru:
"The Nizhny Novgorod region is one of the regions of the Russian
Federation, with which Armenia is interested not only to build,
but also to develop partnerships. This is an economically developed
region; there are many educational institutions there that train highly
qualified professionals. Within the scope of the Russian-Armenian forum
that was held in early December in Armenia, a number of agreements were
signed between the region of the Russian Federation and Vayots Dzor
region of Armenia. Now Armenia and the Nizhny Novgorod region will
cooperate in several areas: scientific, technical, trade, economic
and humanitarian. This once again shows how important relations with
Russian regions are for Armenia, especially with such industrially
developed ones as the Nizhny Novgorod region," said Asoyan.
According to Governor Shantsev, the volumes of trade and economic
cooperation between Armenia and the Nizhny Novgorod region are not
too high yet.
"In foreign trade turnover of the Nizhny Novgorod region with foreign
countries in 2012, Armenia took the 50th place among 140 countries.
The turnover for 2012 amounted to $12 million, but it was the first
time after the crisis when the turnover began to grow. The same trend
can be seen this year too," said Shantsev.
