YEREVAN, February 16. /ARKA/. Armenia and Russia’s Sverdlov region
intend to cooperate in mechanical engineering and atomic energy areas.

On Monday, Eduard Rossel, the region governor, hosted a delegation
headed by Ashot Kagramanyan, governor of Armenia’s Armavir region.

The Armenians expressed readiness to participate in projects on
recycling anthropogenic wastes and to involve specialists from Ural
in construction of a nuclear plant in Armenia, ITAR-TASS reports.

The Armenian delegation is set to visit Uralwagonzavod.

Rossel welcomed the intention to establish a joint enterprise producing
and repairing railway cars in Armavir province.

In October 2008, Sverdlov region’s representatives came to Yerevan
as members of the Russian delegation headed by Dmitry Medvedev and
signed cooperation agreement.

Trade turnover between Armenia and Russia’s Sverdlov province reached
AMD 13.5 million in 2008, but the parties think there is greater room
for cooperation.
