The agreement is focused on creation of jobs in Armenia’s light

and clothing industry.

“We must combine our efforts to develop light industry, which will
promote Armenian-Russian relations,” said Victor Krivopuskov, Head

with transitional economies. It is an excellent opportunity for
implementing this agreement,” he said.
