ARMENIA AND RUSSIA SIGN A PROGRAM OF LONG-TERM COOPERATION UP TO 2020
YEREVAN, October 1. / ARKA /. Russia's transport minister Maxim
Sokolov and Armenia's prime minister Tigran Sargsyan signed on Tuesday
a program of long-term economic cooperation between the two countries
for the period up to 2020.
"Armenia-Russian relationships are broadening and deepening. Trade is
growing with Armenian exports to Russia having increased by more than
20 percent over the last two years," Sargsyan was quoted as saying
by RIA Novosti news agency after the signing ceremony.
Russia and Armenia also signed the protocol of the 15th meeting of
their intergovernmental commission on economic cooperation. Sokolov
said the meeting discussed all the ongoing joint projects. In
particular, both sides reviewed a plan of actions designed to extend
the service life of the Armenian nuclear power plant and discussed
the possibility of speeding up the opening of a branch of Moscow
State University in Armenia.
Tigran Sargsyan said that Russia and Armenia share a common vision
of their common future. He added that a mechanism was created to
minimize the costs stemming from the fact that Armenia has no common
border with a Customs Union member country. -0- - See more at:
