Next session of Armenian Ukrainian intergovernmental commission will
be held at the end of the year in Yerevan
YEREVAN, July 22. / ARKA /. The next session of the Armenian-Ukrainian
intergovernmental commission will be held at the end of the year in
Yerevan, Ukrainian ambassador to Armenia, Ivan Kukhta, said today.
He said the session will discuss the prospects for further economic
cooperation and, in particular, customs tariffs in the light of
Armenia's imminent accession to the Russia-led Customs Union and
Ukraine's ratification of the Association Agreement with the European
Union.
"Both Armenia and Ukraine are interested in boosting their bilateral
relations on political, economic, cultural and humanitarian fronts,"
Kukhta said at a press conference on Tuesday.
He recalled that a major portion of Ukrainian exports to Armenia is
made of building metals, agricultural products and confectionery.
Armenia exports to Ukraine brandy, agricultural and fish products.
According to official data, Armenian-Ukrainian trade turnover in 2013
fell by 5 percent from the previous year to $241.8 million. In the
first five months of 2014 it fell further by almost 19 percent from
the year earlier to $74.4 million.
The ambassador said that according to various estimates, there are
about 450 thousands Armenians living in Ukraine. There is also a large
number of Armenian architectural and cultural monuments, he said.
"Ukraine is doing everything possible so that all ethnic groups feel
themselves as full citizens of the country, have opportunity to learn
their languages, culture and history. Thus, the Lvov municipality in
western Ukraine released 4 million hryvnas for the restoration of
frescoes of the Armenian Cathedral in the city,' he said. -0-
