ARMENIA, RUSSIA REVIEW ECONOMIC COOPERATION. President Kocharian and
other senior members of the Armenian leadership met on 16 October
with Nikolai Ryzhkov, who is co-chairman of the Russian State Duma's
group for cooperation with the Armenian parliament, ITAR-TASS
reported. Kocharian expressed satisfaction that bilateral cooperation
is expanding to encompass ever new spheres of activity. Armenian
Trade and Economic Development Minister Karen Chshmaritian said that
Russia is Armenia's largest trade partner, accounting for 18.9
percent of that country's foreign trade. Deputy parliament speaker
Gagik Aslanian, who is the Armenian co-chairman of the commission,
noted that bilateral trade turnover has grown by 7 percent this year
to reach $56.6 million. Trade with Moscow alone amounts to $34.4
million, Aslanian said. LF
