“It is pretty expensive to deliver heavy cargos here, that’s why our forester didn’t make it to come here, even though they wanted it very much. Here are some little-ton producers in Yerevan this time… They have registered for this meeting because they really want to find partners here,” she said.

Trade turnover between Russia and Armenia valued at $1.3 billion in 2012 which was by 20.3% higher from 2011.—0-
