open in Armenia under the aegis of the International Trade section
of the Department of Enterprise, Construction and Transportation of
California, stated California Senator Jack Scott. The Center will
launch activities not only in Armenia, but also in Georgia, Ukraine
and Russia. In the Senator’s words, a Memorandum of Understanding was
already signed between Armenia and California in 2001. He also noted
California will share experience in IT, agriculture, biotechnics,
while Armenia can export agricultural products.

California are devoted to their fatherland and do everything to assist
it,” Mr. Scott remarked. In his turn Armenian FM V. Oskanian informed
the commodity turnover between Armenia and the US makes some $60-70
million and California accounts for most of it, reported IA Regnum.
