COMMODITY TURNOVER BETWEEN ARMENIA AND BELARUS CONTINUES GROWING
«In spite of the fact that the commodity turnover between Armenia and Belarus is not to large, it continues growing,» Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko stated at a meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Margarian in Minsk. The Belarus President said he was satisfied with both countries being able to find ways to realize mutual trade in rather hard conditions. Lukashenko said he was sure that the visit of the Armenian parliamentary delegation to Belarus will pass successfully. «Other officials and I at least will do our best to meet the desires and realize the arrangements that will be made during the visit,» Lukashenko noted. In his turn, Andranik Margarian noted that there is unused potential available in the bilateral relations and in this respect the parties should work much. «The recurrent meeting of the Armenian-Belarus Intergovernmental Commercial Commission will be held in Yerevan this year, at which ways of activation of bilateral cooperation will be determined,» the Armenian PM noted. He also noted that after his latest visit to Belarus five years ago many positive changes took place in the country, as well as in relations with Armenia.
