A three-day Armenian- Greek business forum kicked off in Yerevan
today with a view of invading new markets and finding new spheres
of cooperation.
As a result of the first-day discussions, President of the
Agrarian-Peasant Union of Armenia Hrachya Berberyan received a
suggestion from Greek counterparts, who expressed willingness to
provide agricultural machinery.
"This is a traditional forum held for the third time, and we always
have concrete agreements and initiatives as a result," President of
the Armenian Union of Entrepreneurs Arsen Ghazaryan said.
The commodity turnover between Armenia and Greece is low: $15-20
million. No increase is expected this year because of the economic
crisis, but this is the best time for laying the foundation for future
cooperation. "We expect the commodity turnover with Greece to reach
at least $ 100-150 million," Arsen Ghazaryan said.
