PRIME MINISTER: INTENSIVE WORK UNDERWAY TO OPEN MSU BRANCH IN YEREVAN
A long-term program of economic cooperation until 2020 was signed
between Armenia and Russia based on the results of the sitting of the
Armenian-Russian intergovernmental commission on economic cooperation.
At the press conference held following the sitting, the commission
co-chairmen - Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and Russian
Minister of Transport Maksim Sokolov stressed the importance of the
program, noting that the governments of two countries will implement
the projects included in the program.
The Armenian prime minister stated that bilateral trade turnover
grows year by year, currently amounting to over $1 billion.
"Bilateral cooperation has potential for deepening and expansion. In
this context, we attach importance to the signing of the long-term
cooperation program and its implementation," Sargsyan said.
As regards the issue of Armenia's entry into the Customs Union,
Tigran Sargsyan said his position has not changed and is in keeping
with the Russian authorities' position.
"President Putin's position was voiced at the meeting of the presidents
of the two countries in August of last year. It was the following:
given the fact that Armenia has no common borders with the Customs
Union, we should try to determine how Armenia can integrate into
the CU.
"The CU already has mechanisms that allow reducing transaction expenses
that result from the absence of common borders. The mechanisms
which are used today contribute to Armenia's integration into the
CU," Tigran Sargsyan said, adding that the decision of Armenian and
Russian presidents was made, given this fact. In his words, now the
governments of Armenia and Russia should work on the implementation
of that decision.
It was stated during the press conference that intensive work is
underway to open a branch of Moscow State University in Yerevan.
