BATES IN ARMENIA

ISLAND-based Professor St John Bates is leading a small consortium
advising the Armenian Government.

Professor Bates, representing St John Bates Consultancy, recently
spent four days in the capital Yerevan, during which he and
colleagues, had meetings with senior advisors in a number of
government ministries and with senior officials of the National
Assembly of Armenia.

Professor Bates said Armenia was entering an interesting political
and commercial period with the implementation of an approximation
agreement with the European Union.
