Trade turnover between Armenia and Russia in 2010 amounted to USD 870
mln. There are more than 1400 enterprises operating with the Russian
capital inside Armenia. Both countries are focused on regional
cooperation for developing small and medium size businesses. The
representatives of those two countries are concerned because of the
fact that there is no direct border between the two countries and
they have to operate through a third country. Armenian and Russian
officials are considering the option of establishing links between
the two countries via Iran and the Caspian Sea.
