The potential of Armenian enterprises conveyed to the Russian Federation can be used in full in state programs, which exist or are planned in Russia, while the enterprises themselves can be integrated into industrial chains of Russia. Minister of Energy of Russia Victor Khristenko stated it, Russian Ministry of Energy reported. In his words, the inter-state integration cannot be provided for within one day. Forming respective economic and other preconditions is necessary to that end. An innovatory development course is among the most important ones. «I think that scientific, industrial and entrepreneurial circles of our countries should lay a special emphasis on the need of innovatory growth, activation of intellectual potential, development and application of high technologies. Rapt attention should be paid to it. We should be competitive at the international level. This can be attained only in case we take the course of innovatory development,» Victor Khristenko noted. The Minister also noted that the main document regulating the relations of the Armenian and Russian Enterprises in the military-economic sphere is the Agreement between the Government of Russian Federation and the Government of the Republic of Armenia on industrial and scientific-technical cooperation of defense enterprises (March 30, 1994). In Khristenko's words, in 1999 to strengthen the available production ties of the defense industry enterprises of Russia and Armenia (first out of the CIS countries) signed an inter-governmental Agreement on maintaining the specialization of the enterprises participating in military production. The agreement refers to 23 Russian and 18 Armenian enterprises. The experience gained and new integration opportunities of our countries allowed to move from preserving the available production and scientific-technical cooperation to the concept of their development and integration within the framework of creation of new inter-state entities.
