Turkmenistan and Armenia to exchange trade missions

In the course of the Turkmen-Armenian business forum Armenian Minister
of Economy Nerses Yeritsyan announced the intention of the two
countries to open trade offices in Ashgabat and Yerevan.

As the Minister noted, the parties already reached specific agreements
to this effect, and the relevant documents undergo the internal
approval process in both countries, ARKA news agency reports.

"The signing of these agreements will help establish direct business
contacts between the countries that will serve as an incentive to open
trading missions, organize exhibitions, and develop trade and economic
relations," Nerses Yeritsyan said.

According to him, "it will lead to further development of the entire
spectrum of bilateral economic cooperation for which a relevant legal
basis has been already put in place."

The business forum in Yerevan was attended by members of the
Government of Turkmenistan and the Republic of Armenia, as well as
representatives of 40 major Armenian companies.
