"Russia occupies the shameful 3d place as a major capital investor in
Armenia. I say 'shameful' because it's strange that Russia is not the
1st in the economy of a strategic partner," president Vladimir Putin
of Russia stated at the Kremlin yesterday where he hosted his Armenian
counterpart Robert Kocharian. Then the Russian president underscored
that he expects growth of Russian investments in the Armenian economy.
Putin also pointed out that trade between the two countries is on
the upward curve though numbers for Russia are not that high: 60%
in 8 months. President Kocharian, on his part, informed that all
agreements with Gazprom are being accomplished and expressed hope
that the situation with investments will change next year.
The Armenian president suggested elaborating mechanisms that would
help to get maximum use of the ties that emerged during the Year of
Armenia in Russia, ITAR-TASS reports.
This was the 4th meeting of the two presidents this year.
Armenian president's next scheduled visit is to Kazakhstan in November.
