Spanish-Armenian consulting company to operate in Yerevan
Ceremonial event dated to "Barbera-Lupicinio-Z.Megrhryan investment advocacy" Spanish-Armenian consulting company opening. The event was attended by RA Deputy Economy Minister Ara Petrosyan, "Lupicinio Eversheds" international juridical company founder Lupicinio Rodriguez, Honorary consul of Armenia in Spain Luis Barbera Zapatero, Zinavor Megrhryan and other high-ranking officials.

As Economy Ministry spokesman Gayane Vardanyan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, creation of a joint consulting company is a result of Armenian-Spanish business forum held in September 2009. "Even then, Spanish entrepreneurs took interest in some of our business projects. Soon an opportunity occurred for their implementation," she said.

According to her, company activities are aimed at activation of bilateral economic relations, with the company acting as a mediator between Armenian and Spanish business communities and providing consulting services for investment projects' implementation.

At present, Spanish entrepreneurs are interested in such projects as Northern -Southern highway construction, waste processing programs and tourism development.
