this time other spheres will also be displayed by various ministries
of these countries. 10 Armenian ministries are expected to take

will also be presented by ministries. Armenian-Russian joint ventures
and projects, as well as Armenia’s high and information technologies

will be displayed as successfully as at the exhibition dedicated to
the 10th anniversary of the CIS, after which many Armenian companies
signed agreements allowing them to enter the Russian market. At the
