Armenia and Bulgaria not satisfied with bilateral commodity turnover
The visit of Bulgarian Prime Minister Sergei Stanishev to Armenia was fruitful and constructive, Armenian PM Serge Sargsyan said at a joint news conference in Yerevan today.

He said a number of agreements in the economic, educational and cultural fields were signed in the framework of the visit.

"This is the first-ever visit of a Bulgarian top-ranking official to Armenia and we do attach importance to it," PM Sargsyan said.

At that he noted that the commodity turnover between Armenia and Bulgaria makes $30 million in all and doesn't satisfy both states. "Armenia has goods Bulgaria is interested in. Prospects of economic cooperation will be discussed at an Armenian-Bulgarian business forum due next year," he said.
