    ARMENIA, RUSSIA EXTEND AGREEMENT REGULATING VOLUNTARY MIGRATION


    YEREVAN, MARCH 10. (RIA NOVOSTI CORRESPONDENT HAMLET MATEVOSYAN) -A
    protocol on the continued validity of an inter-government agreement
    between Armenia and the Russian federation, "On regulating voluntary
    migration processes", of August 29, 1997 was signed in Yerevan by
    Minister for Territorial Government and Infrastructure Coordination
    Ovik Abraamyan and Russia's ambassador Anatoly Dryukov in Armenia.

    Under the protocol, the sides have agreed to extend the agreement for
    another five years, reports the Armenian government public and press
    liaison department. The agreement is targeted at creating favourable
    conditions for the voluntary migration of Armenian and Russian
    citizens, said Gagik Yeganyan, chief of the Armenian government
    department for migration and refugees.

    It is especially important now, with a notable stream of repatriates,
    added Yeganyan.

    On instructions from the Armenian government, he continued, a
    delegation will go to Russia next week to enlighten Armenian citizens
    living in Russia on the essence of the inter-government agreement.
