/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In 2005 the volume of commodity turnover between Yerevan
and Saint Petersburg has increased with 15%. However, according to Governor
of Saint Petersburg Valentina Matvienko, the current volume of economic
cooperation that amounted in $9 million does not meet the potential of the
sides. `We came to develop cooperation with Yerevan. Cultural workers and
businessmen, who will meet with their Armenian colleagues to discuss
prospect of cooperation, serve on our delegation. People of Petersburg feel
nostalgia for Armenian culture ‘, she said.
