    Yerevan, 3 December: Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Markaryan
    received Moscow Mayor Yuriy Luzhkov and his delegation on 3
    December. Noting the high level of relations between Armenia and
    Russia, the parties also stressed the need for the further development
    of cooperation between the Armenian government and other
    administrative parts of the Russian Federation, particularly the
    government of Moscow.

    The governments of Armenia and Moscow have already approved the
    composition of a working commission for cooperation in the commercial,
    economic, scientific, technical, humanitarian and cultural areas,
    Markaryan said. A draft programme on cooperation is being
    prepared. The first meeting of the commission is scheduled for the
    spring of 2005.

    The Armenian premier suggested that major Moscow companies take more
    active steps to enter and invest in the Armenian market. Markaryan
    noted that Armenia is particularly interested in setting up joint
    ventures processing fruit and vegetables.

    Luzhkov promised to help resolve the mentioned issues. He expressed
    satisfaction with the negotiations with the Armenian government, the
    mayor's office of Yerevan and the development and implementation of
    joint programmes. The programme of cooperation for 2005-2007, which
    was signed between Moscow and Yerevan on 3 December, is an important
    step in this direction, he said.

    The sides also touched upon cooperation in the banking system, health,
    transport, communications, education and culture, the press service of
    the [Armenian] government said.
