ARABC should give fresh impetus to Russo-Armenian contacts - pres
by Lyudmila Yermakova
The Association of Russian-Armenian Business Cooperation (ARABC) is
aimed at the development of strategic partnership between the two
states, said speakers at the Association's annual meeting that took
place at Moscow-based President-Hotel.
The Association created two years ago already has missions in 58
Russian regions and eight branches in former Soviet republics and
foreign countries, including Armenia, Germany, Ukraine, Cyprus, and
the United States. One more branch will be opened in Belarus shortly.
``The activity of the Association promotes the development of
strategic partnership and presents a new kind of business relations
between regions,'' Federation Council Deputy Speaker Alexander
Torshin said in a greeting message to the Association on behalf of
the upper house of the Russian parliament.
The message expressed hope that the historical potential of
friendship and cooperation between the two peoples will be ``enlarged
manifold.''
Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Local
Self-Government Levon Chakhmanchyan, who is also head of the
All-Russia non-governmental movement ``For Self-Government of Working
People'', was elected as the ARABC president.
``Our task is to give a new boost to the development of multilateral
contacts in various spheres at the modern level,'' Chakhmanchyan told
Itar-Tass.
The association, created with the assistance of Russian and Armenian
public, politicians and businessmen, ``must do things, which are in
great demand in Armenia and Russia,'' he said.
Members of the association have already offered a number of very
interesting projects based on new technologies, which is necessary in
construction and processing industries.
At present, ARABC efforts are focused, in particular, on the
restoration of regular railway traffic between Moscow and Yerevan,
Chakhmanchyan said.
