    ARMENIAN AGRICULTURAL MINISTER TO VISIT ISRAEL IN NOVEMBER

    YEREVAN, June 29. / ARKA /. Armenia's minister of agriculture, Sergo
    Karapetian, said today he plans to make a visit to Israel in November
    as he met in Yerevan with Israeli ambassador to Armenia, Shmuem Meir.

    According to a preliminary agreement, Sergo Karapetian will fly to
    Israel to attend an international greenhouse exhibition scheduled for
    November 16-17. A press release issued by the ministry of agriculture
    said the two men discussed prospects for boosting Armenian-Israeli
    cooperation.

    "We can ensure high productivity in a small territory with limited
    land resources only on the basis of scientific resource," Karapetian
    was quoted as saying.

    The two men said their countries can cooperate in exchange of
    experience concerning the introduction of modern technology in
    irrigation, livestock and establishment of greenhouses.

    "We have many opportunities for cooperation and we must use them,"
    Karapetian said underlining the importance of expanding Israeli
    government-run MASHAV program.

    Israel's Centre for International Cooperation (MASHAV is the Hebrew
    acronym) assists countries striving to alleviate shared global problems
    like hunger, disease, and poverty by means of technical training and
    technology transfer needed to achieve a decent quality of life. The
    ambassador said in turn Israel is open to cooperation with Armenia
    in the framework of MASHAV.

    The Armenian-Israeli cooperation in agriculture was started in 1993.

    There is an arrangement on export of Armenian fruit concentrates to
    Israel.
