    Russian Federation Council Chairman Sergei Mironov and Armenian
    parliament head Artur Bagdasaryan opened the Russian-Armenian regional
    cooperation centre in a ceremony in Yerevan on Saturday.

    The objective of the centre is promoting development of cooperation
    between Russian and Armenian regions.

    The agreement to set up the centre was reached at the conference on
    "Russian-Armenia interregional cooperation - the state and prospects"
    that took place in Samara last May.

    Mironov expressed the hope activities of the centre would be effective
    and beneficial for contacts between Russian and Armenian regions.

    The head of the Russian parliament's upper house said that during his
    visit to Yerevan he agreed with his Armenian counterpart on the format
    to finance the centre.

    The centre is situated in the student town territory near Armenian
    French University, whose administrative board chairman is the Armenian
    parliament head.

    An agreement on cooperation between Russian and Armenian regions was
    signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin's official visit to
    Yerevan in September 2001.

    Seventy Russian regions maintain direct ties with Armenia at present,
    and 15 agreements between regions of the two countries are in force,
    Mironov noted.
