Russian Ambassador: Russian economic operators successfully working  in Armenia

ArmInfo.Russia is Armenia's largest foreign trade and investment partner, and Russian economic operators are successfully working in such systemically  important sectors of the country's economy as information technology,  mining, fuel and energy, nuclear energy, transport logistics,  banking, and others, as stated by Russian Ambassador to Armenia  Sergey Kopyrkin in an interview with the newspaper "Syunyats Yerkir."

According to him, companies with Russian capital are the largest  taxpayers in the Republic's budget, while actively participating in  the implementation of social projects and programs. "We proceed from  the premise that our Armenian partners, in turn, are interested in  preserving and enhancing the decisive contribution of trade and  economic cooperation with Russia to the growth of prosperity and  strengthening the country's socioeconomic stability," the Ambassador  added.

Kopirkin also noted that the Russian embassy and trade mission are in  close contact with domestic businessmen, as well as with responsible  Armenian officials.

"So far, no alarming signals have been received from Russian economic  operators. Furthermore, we have a smoothly functioning bilateral  mechanism-the Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation at  the deputy prime minister level-where we discuss all outstanding  economic issues in a constructive manner inherent in our allied  relations," the Ambassador said, in response to whether businesses in  Armenia with Russian capital could suffer the fate of Electric  Networks of Armenia.
