Rushailo, Armenian leaders discuss CIS reform
YEREVAN, March 3 (Itar-Tass) – CIS Executive Committee chairman
Vladimir Rushailo met Armenian leaders on Thursday for talks on the
CIS reforms and measures to increase the effectiveness of the
Commonwealth.
Rushailo favoured the CIS reform to make its activity more effective
and dynamic, and bring it in line with the present realities.
Economic cooperation is one of priorities in the CIS activity, but
its business resource is not used in full. To this end, he proposed
to create business-centres in CIS countries. Armenia’s exposition at
the All-Russia Exhibition Centre is one of the best expositions,
Rushailo stressed.
`Despite objective and subjective difficulties, cooperation between
CIS countries, primarily in such areas as economy, security, the
fight against crime and humanitarian aspects, is developing
effectively,’ Armenian President Robert Kocharyan stressed. At the
same time, the president noted that it is necessary to increase the
CIS activity.
`Since the CIS has been organised, Armenia is taking an active part
in the work of CIS structures,’ Armenian Prime Minister Andranik
Margaryan said. The prime minister said he is hopeful that
constructive discussions will allow CIS states to find an optimal
solution to the problem and make the CIS a more effective mechanism.
