    RUSSIAN, ARMENIAN PMS DISCUSS BILATERAL COOPERATION AHEAD OF EEU MEETING

    GORKI. Feb 5

    The prime ministers of Russia and Armenia have discussed their
    bilateral agenda and cooperation within the Eurasian Economic Union
    (EEU) ahead of an EEU meeting of head of states.

    "This is our first meeting since Armenia joined our integration
    project that is the Eurasian Economic Union," Dmitry Medvedev told
    his Armenian counterpart Hovik Abrahamyan on Thursday.

    The meeting is taking place ahead of Friday's first meeting of the
    EEU intergovernmental commission in an expanded format, he said.

    "Today we have the opportunity to discuss briefly but concisely
    our relations, both economic and investment issues, and all other
    topics that have relevance for our countries," the Russian prime
    minister said.

    Abrahamyan thanked him "for the great personal support" for Armenia in
    joining the EEU. In 2014, trade between Russia and Armenia reached $1.5
    billion, which is 3.2% more than in 2013, the Armenian premier said. .

    Russia is Armenia's key foreign economic investor. Total Russian
    investment in Armenia since 1991 has stood at around $3.4 billion.

    In 2009, the Armenian government received a $500 million 15-year loan
    from the Russian government on preferential terms. The credit line
    was fully closed by the Armenian government in October 2013 at the
    expense of funds received by Yerevan from the placement of Eurobonds.
