(adds)

MOSCOW, June 13 (Itar-Tass) - An Ilyushin-76 jet of the Russian
Ministry for Emergency Situations and Civil Defense /EMERCOM/ that took
off at 02:05 local time Sunday from the airport of Kyrgyzstan's capital
Bishkek is taking to Moscow six people who received severe wounds during
the violence sweeping the tumultuous Central Asian country.
The six need highly qualified medical treatment and will be admitted
to Moscow hospitals.
The wounded have been placed in special intensive care modules the jet
is fitted out with and a team of ten physicians from the All-Russia Center
for Disaster Situations Medicine and EMERCOM'S Central Airmobile Rescue
Detachment /Tsentrospas/ is escorting them aboard.
"The jet is expected to make a landing at EMERCOM's airdrome in
Ramenskoye near Moscow at around 04:35 Moscow daylight saving time," a
spokesman for the ministry told Itar-Tass.
Earlier reports said one of the wounded is a five-year-old girl who is
paralyzed after a bullet pierced several vital organs in her body.
One more evacuee is a policeman whose leg was torn off by an explosion.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had telephone conversations with
Emergency Situations Minister Sergei Shoigu and Public Health Minister
Tatiana Golikova Saturday, telling them to render humanitarian aid to
Kyrgyzstan.
The presidential press secretary, Natalya Timakova said Medvedev
instructed the ministers to organize evacuation of the wounded and to
supply medicines and other humanitarian cargoes to Kyrgyzstan.
Ethnic clashes between the people of Kyrgyz and Uzbek nationalities
began in the city of Osh, the main urban center in the south and the
country's second largest city, on the night from Thursday to Saturday. The
introduction of an emergency situation and curfew in the area by the
authorities had practically no effect on the unfolding of tragic events.
Official data indicates that up to 80 people died there in the course
of clashes and about 800 others turned for medical aid.
Kyrgyzstan's interim President Roza Otunbayeva admitted Saturday that
this country is unable to settle the conflict in the Osh area on its own
and that is why she turned to President Medvedev for military assistance.
She blamed the blood brothers of the ousted President Kurmanbek
Bakiyev with organizing ethnic clashes in the southern regions.


.Turkmenistan Trade House to open in Mosmart hypermarkets in Russia.

ASHGABAT, June 13 (Itar-Tass) - Turkmenistan Trade House is due to
open in two hypermarkets of the Mosmart chain in Moscow, Nina Levshina, a
deputy chairperson of the Russian-Turkmenistani Business Council reporting
to the Chamber of Commerce and Industries said here Saturday.
At the same time, the Russia Trade House is to open in Ashgabat's new
trading center Chandibil, she said.
A delegation of Russian business people led by Levshina rounded up
talks with government members and officials from a number of ministries
and departments Saturday.
It included executives from the companies Roskon, Inter RAO UES,
BaltusRusEnergo, Nestro-Kaspiy, Envision Group, Konvers Mil, and a number
of others.
"The opening of trade houses in Moscow and Ashgabat will considerably
expand the opportunities for both retail and wholesale trade in Russia and
Turkmenistan and will boost contacts between the two countries' small and
medium-sized businesses," Levshina said, adding that affiliations of the
Turkmenistan Trade House will also be opened in twelve regions of Russia
apart from Moscow.
In the course of negotiations, the sides coordinated the issues of
logistics and reciprocal transportation of commodities. They gave the
central role in this chain to the southern Russian city of Astrakhan in
the lower reaches of the Volga close to the river's influx into the
Caspian Sea.
The negotiators singled out Astrakhan as a large transport junction
and commercial center that has the appropriate infrastructure.
The sides also reached agreement on using Russian river-to-sea-going
dry cargo ships to deliver Turkmenistani commodities to the city of
Saratov in the middle reaches of the Volga.
The Russian-Turkmenistani Business Council was set up in 2007 for the
purpose of expanding economic cooperation between the two countries.
The activity of bilateral business councils has already helped to
launch dozens of contract in different spheres.
The largest of these are the start of operations of the Russian
company Itera at Turkmenistan's Caspian offshore deposits and setting up
of a power generating joint venture by the company Yarovit.
