    ST. PETERSBURG October 1

    - The Russian-Armenian intergovernmental commission for economic
    cooperation held a session on Tuesday to analyze the course of
    implementation of joint projects.

    Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisyan, who is co-chairman of
    the commission, said after the meeting that it had touched upon
    integration processes within the framework of the Customs Union
    of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan that Armenia plans to join. He
    said economic cooperation between Russia and Armenia was developing
    actively, and trade had been stably growing over the past two years.

    In 2012 trade between the two countries stood at 1.2 billion dollars,
    demonstrating a 22.3-percent year-on-year growth. In the first half
    of this year it was 680.4 million dollars, nine percent more than in
    January-June 2012.

    The Russian co-chairman of the commission, Transport Minister Maxim
    Sokolov, told reporters that the session had discussed the development
    of legal framework, prospects for trade and economic relations,
    cooperation in the fuel, energy, transport and communications sectors,
    in agriculture, as well as in the humanitarian sector and tourism.

    A program of long-term economic cooperation until 2020 was signed
    after the session.
