/PanARMENIAN.Net/ We witness positive dynamics in the Armenian-Russian
economic relations, Russia’s First Vice Premier Sergey Ivanov told
a news conference today. This can be proved by the 70-80% growth of
commodity turnover between our states, he said. "The point is that
along with ethnic investments the increase of Russian capital is also
observed," he noted.
Mr Ivanov marked out energy, transport, communications as the priority
fields for Russia. "These are the sectors of economy which offer
the biggest increase of Russian investments in Armenia. There are
problems and we discussed them today. Nevertheless, I should mention
that despite the complexity of transport communication these problems
are being solved," he underscored.
For his part, RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan noted that the first
Poti-Caucasus ferry voyage was a success. This gives hope that a part
of the transport problem will be resolved.
"This ferry can admit 50 carriages and if everything goes well
their arrival in Armenia will not be a problem any more," Sergey
Ivanov added.
