    PRIME MINISTER: INTENSIVE WORK UNDERWAY TO OPEN MSU BRANCH IN YEREVAN

    A long-term program of economic cooperation until 2020 was signed
    between Armenia and Russia based on the results of the sitting of the
    Armenian-Russian intergovernmental commission on economic cooperation.

    At the press conference held following the sitting, the commission
    co-chairmen - Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and Russian
    Minister of Transport Maksim Sokolov stressed the importance of the
    program, noting that the governments of two countries will implement
    the projects included in the program.

    The Armenian prime minister stated that bilateral trade turnover
    grows year by year, currently amounting to over $1 billion.

    "Bilateral cooperation has potential for deepening and expansion. In
    this context, we attach importance to the signing of the long-term
    cooperation program and its implementation," Sargsyan said.

    As regards the issue of Armenia's entry into the Customs Union,
    Tigran Sargsyan said his position has not changed and is in keeping
    with the Russian authorities' position.

    "President Putin's position was voiced at the meeting of the presidents
    of the two countries in August of last year. It was the following:
    given the fact that Armenia has no common borders with the Customs
    Union, we should try to determine how Armenia can integrate into
    the CU.

    "The CU already has mechanisms that allow reducing transaction expenses
    that result from the absence of common borders. The mechanisms
    which are used today contribute to Armenia's integration into the
    CU," Tigran Sargsyan said, adding that the decision of Armenian and
    Russian presidents was made, given this fact. In his words, now the
    governments of Armenia and Russia should work on the implementation
    of that decision.

    It was stated during the press conference that intensive work is
    underway to open a branch of Moscow State University in Yerevan.
