Although there is no direct dependence of Yerevan on Moscow, Russia has
always been and still remains the key strategic partner of Armenia and
the biggest investor in its economy, members of the Armenian-Russian
Inter-parliamentary Commission for Cooperation said after the regular
sitting of the Commission in Nizhny Novgorod, held on 7-11 June.
For the Armenian-Russian Inter-Parliamentary Commission an important
issue is the expansion of small and medium business cooperation between
the two countries, the head of the delegation, National Assembly
Vice-Chairperson Hermine Naghdalyan during the press conference
of the Armenian delegation. "We attached great importance to this
issue in the time when there had been no talks about the process of
integration with Russia. And later, after September 3 this issue has
become much more important for us. We must work hard to expand the
economic cooperation between the two countries", - she said.
Mrs. Naghdalyan underlined that in Nizhny Novgorod at the last session
of the Commission an agreement was reached to set up working groups in
the two countries that will study the economic cooperation between the
two countries, will try to find out the problems and possibilities
of expanding the cooperation, and in autumn, at the next session
of the Commission will present the results of their study and the
recommendations.
She also added that an arrangement was made with the Russian party,
according to which Armenian migrants will be given easy conditions
similar to the migration conditions of the Russian citizens.
Touching on the statement by the head of the "Russia Today", Dmitri
Kiselev, about the necessity of the Russian language "returning"
to Armenia, Naghdalyan said that the Russian language may not be
given a status of the second state language in Armenia, as Armenia
is a mono-ethnic republic.
