on trade-economic, scientific-technical and cultural cooperation by
2008 between Rostov-on-Don and Yerevan was signed in the capital of
RF Rostov region. According to the Yerkramas (Territory) newspaper of
Armenians of Russia, such an agreement was reached during the official
visit of Yerevan Mayor Yervand Zakharian to Rostov region. The Armenian
and Russian sides also coordinated a joint project on building House
of Yerevan in Rostov-on-Don and House of Rostov-on-Don in Yerevan.

two years ago, when a delegation from Rostov region visited Yerevan
