On November 21 the United States welcomed Armenian Minister of
Economy Nerses Yeritsian and his delegation for the annual US-Armenia
Joint Economic Taskforce (USATF), Office of the Spokesman of the US
Department of State reported.
The USATF was formed in 2000 and meets annually to further economic
cooperation and advance economic and market reforms in Armenia. The
meeting was co-chaired by Coordinator for Assistance to Europe and
Eurasia Daniel N.
Rosenblum and Minister Yeritsian. The Taskforce is an open forum
to discuss issues of concern and interest. It also provides the
opportunity to check progress in certain areas and clarify priorities
for moving forward.
An Open Skies air services agreement was signed at the conclusion
of the meeting. This agreement will allow air carriers of the
United States and Armenia to make decisions on routes, capacity,
and pricing based on commercial considerations. It includes liberal
"doing business" rights and provides opportunities for cooperative
marketing arrangements, including code sharing.
