Quite a good opportunity is provided for the development of economic relations between the two countries. Today I have been accompanied by representatives of the economic field and businessmen: they are in Armenia. Within the frames of the cooperation with Armenia, the key fields are energy and transit, as well as nature protection. We also attach a great importance to the cooperation in the fields of science and technologies. We are grateful to Armenia for the assistance in international platforms.
