/PanARMENIAN.Net/ All preconditions are available for promoting
mutually favorable Russian-Armenian trade and economic cooperation,
stated Russian Co-Chair of the Armenian-Russian Inter-Governmental
Commission, Transport Minister Igor Levitin at the opening of the
Commission session. Levitin’s statement specifically notes, “The former
six months of this year are characterized by considerable increase of
the growth rate of mutual trade, which is equal to 16.7% according
to preliminary data. Preservation of this dynamics will allow RF
become the leader among major trade partners of Armenia. Investment
cooperation keeps successfully developing and this promotes
commercial growth. Many of our CIS partners consider the trade
and economic cooperation between Russia and Armenia an experience
worth paying attention to. I am sure the potential of growth of the
commodity turnover is not used up. Russia does not cancel the matter
of gas supplies to Armenia in its agenda, as well as expansion of
trade of oil products that will allow enhancing the energy dialogue
between our countries. The normative and legal basis of cooperation,
including the organization of train-ferry communication between Poti,
Georgia and Kavkaz, Russia, forms good preconditions for that. Due to
a number of reasons the communication cannot show all its advantages
yet. However, I assure you that the Russian party will make all
efforts necessary for the ferry line to have demand in the system
of transport communication between our countries. I would like to
underscore the need to expand economic relations between Armenia and
its regions with the constituents of the Russian Federation.”
