    YEREVAN, MAY 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The 12th sitting of the US-Armenia Task
    Force (USATF) was held in Yerevan on May 2. The RA Minister of Finance
    and Economy Vardan Khachatrian stated during the press conference
    following the sitting that the sides mainly addressed the Millennium
    Challenge Program, investment encouragement issues, problems that
    hinder the development of Armenia's trade and the microeconomic
    situation in the country. The minister noted that problems of
    agriculture, especially those related to irrigation systems and the
    energy sector were discussed as well. According to US Coordinator
    for Europe and Eurasia Tom Adams, the discussions of all issues of
    bilateral interest were held at high level. It is envisaged to hold
    the the next - 13th sitting of the USATF in September-October. The
    Armenian side proposed that it should be held in Armenia again. The
    USATF was established in 2000 in order to bring to institutional level
    the intergovernmental dialogs on further development of bilateral
    economic cooperation and increasing the efficiency of assistance
    programs implemented by the US government in Armenia. USATF convenes
    two sittings annually - in Washington and Yerevan. Over the past
    decade, the US government has implemented various development and
    humanitarian programs of over 1.6 bln USD in Armenia.
