MOSCOW REGION, ARMENIA SIGN COOPERATION AGREEMENT

YEREVAN, January 30 (Itar-Tass) — The governments of Armenia and
the Moscow region signed a cooperation agreement on Wednesday.

The signing of the document was in the centre of Moscow region Governor
Boris Gromov’s one-day visit to Yerevan.

When receiving the Moscow region governor, Armenian President Robert
Kocharyan said he was satisfied with the signed agreement.

He is confident that the document will give an additional impetus to
the development of Russian-Armenian cooperation.

The Moscow region has a big potential and its authorities are ready
to tap it in order to enhance Russian-Armenian relations, Gromov said.

During his meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisyan,
the governor discussed further development of bilateral interaction.

The interlocutors pointed to the key role of contacts between the
Russian and Armenian regions in that cooperation.

The Moscow region and Armenia have traditionally good relations,
Gromov said.

The signed agreement envisages the setting up of working groups
in various spheres and specific programs of cooperation, including
agriculture, housing construction, and culture, the governor said.

Our main task is to create favourable conditions for the development
of business, economic, cultural and social contacts, Gromov said.

In 2007, trade turnover between Armenia and the Moscow region had
neared 40 million U.S. dollars, the governor reminded, adding,
"There is no point in saying that this index is high."

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
