    By Ara Martirosian

    AZG Armenian Daily #156, 02/09/2005

    Rafael Bielsa, foreign minister of Argentina, visited Armenia. Within
    the framework of his official visit, Mr. Bielsa visited "Zvartnots"
    airport, which is owned by "Corporacion America" Argentinean
    company. Mr. Eduardo Ernekian, head of the company, accompanied the
    Argentinean foreign minister during his visit.

    The Argentinean guests walked in the airport and watched the
    construction of the airport's new terminal. The construction of the new
    building will be completed till 2008. "Corporacion America" will invest
    $105 million for that. This will be the first part of the investment
    program of the airport that amounts to $230 million in total. The
    arrival halls of the new building will function by the autumn of 2006.

    The airport will be equipped with new equipment and the
    security systems that keep in line with the highest international
    criteria. Particularly, they showed the new security equipment that
    defines the identity of the passengers by their fingerprints.

    Rafael Bielsa and Vartan Oskanian, RA foreign minister, gave a short
    press conference after their visit to the airport. The ministers
    touched upon the official meetings of the past two days. Mr. Bielsa
    pointed out his visits to the airport and to the Argentinean school
    among the unofficial meetings. He said he was especially touched to
    see two little children dance Argentinean tango in a country that is
    so far from his motherland.

    The ministers also said that they agreed to construct the Embassy of
    Argentina to Armenia. Though the place of the Embassy hasn't been
    defined yet, the Ambassador of Argentina to Armenia has already
    been appointed.

    As for the Armenian-Argentinean relations, Mr. Bielsa said that the
    Argentinean Armenians are more Argentineans, while he became more
    Armenian when he visited Armenia. He added that the relations between
    our countries are more than wonderful.
