ROBERT KOCHARIAN WELCOMED PARTICIPANTS OF ARMENIAN-RUSSIAN INVESTMENT FORUM OPENED IN YEREVAN

There are no visible obstacles for developing the Armenian-Russian cooperation. An address by Armenian president Robert Kocharian to participants of the Armenian-Russian investment forum opened in Yerevan today says. The message points out that the recent increase of commodity turnover between Armenia and Russia was made possible at the expense of governmental sources and activities of business circles. At the same time R. Kocharian expressed confidence that “the recurrent holding of the forum will enrich the Armenian-Russian cooperation.” It should be noted that the forum participants – representatives of business circles of Russia and Armenia – will consider opportunities of attraction of Russian capital to the Armenian economy. Over 80 representatives of Russian companies headed by minister of industry, science and technologies Ilya Klebanov had arrived in Yerevan to take part in the forum.
