Russia discusses cooperation with Armenia

Trade between Armenia and Russia grew by 31 percent to $120.4m in the
first half of this year. Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Markarian
met today with Russian transportation minister Igor Levitin. The
sides said they were satisfied with the advance in trade, the ARKA
news agency said. Markarian underscored the fact that Russia remains
Armenia’s largest trade and economic partner. Levitin expressed his
hope that the Russian Prime Minister’s visit to Armenia at the end of
2005 would provide a new stimulus to the development of political and
economic relations between the two states.
