Re: The Rise of the Russian Empire: Russo-Armenian Relations
Russia-Armenia trade growing fast - PM
MOSCOW, September 25 (ITAR-TASS) – Russian-Armenian relations are on rise, Russian Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov told Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisyan at their meeting in Moscow on Tuesday. Sarkisyan said the bilateral relations are “developing normally”. An increase in trade was above 70 percent in the first half-year, which is a “good confirmation of these words”. Sarkisyan said a plan of long-term economic cooperation had been approved at a recent meeting of the intergovernmental commission. “If it is approved by the Russian prime minister, a billion-sized trade turnover can be reached in a foreseeable future,” he said.

Russia to double investment in Armenia
Russian acting Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov held international talks for the first time at this post on Tuesday. He met with his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkisyan at the Russian House of Government. The Armenian premier was accompanied by “a representative delegation with a great number of concrete questions, which we will solve, and I am sure, we will solve them,” Zubkov emphasized. These questions are the construction of a joint oil refinery, a huge stock of construction materials and goods, which Armenia possesses. “The enormous market, which will be in Sochi, uranium reserves, which should be developed, produced and processed open up possibilities for a steep rise of the trade,” he believes. “A good boost in trade relations is possible,” Zubkov said with confidence. Russia’s investment in Armenia is estimated at $800m, Russian Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov told a press conference after negotiations with his Armenian counterpart Serge Sarkisian today. According to Zubkov, both parties entertain hopes of doubling that amount in near future by implementing joint projects in various sectors, including energy.
