    SPYUR ARMENIAN INFORMATION SERVICE AND ARKA NEWS AGENCY IMPLEMENT
    JOINT PROJECT

    YEREVAN, September 17. /ARKA/. Spyur Armenian Information Service and
    ARKA News Agency implemented a joint project. As Ashot Grigoryan,
    Director of Spyur said, along with analytic review of economic
    situation in Armenia prepared jointly with the Armenian Development
    Agency and National Statistical Service, for the first time the most
    important economic events in Armenia provided by ARKA have been
    included in the English version of the directory. In Grigoryan's
    words, the decision to include the news-reel in the directory can be
    explained by the circumstance that all official economic reviews are
    actually already one year old and do not contain info on today's
    economic trends. "The information provided by ARKA as a brief
    news-reel of the current year allows filling up the gap formed in the
    economic review", Grigoryan said. He mentioned that the given
    cooperation was on the initial stage and the works for its further
    enhancements were being made. "The initiative is aimed at placing of
    maximally useful news on minimal space, thus encouraging searching of
    the required information", he said. He also reported that the
    Armenian version of the reference is in preparation stage and a
    decision was taken to include ARKA's news-reel in the directory.
    In his turn Konstantin Petrosiv, Director of ARKA News Agency stated
    that this is the first attempt to combine commercial and business
    information in a single directory. "I think that inclusion of ARKA's
    news-reel in Spyur's directory will enable the potential clients as
    being acquainted with information on enterprises and organization of
    Armenia as well as the most important developments in economic and
    financial sectors.
    Spyur Information Service was established in 1992. It collects,
    processes and spreads information on enterprises and organizations in
