Armenian Minister of the Economy Vagram Avanesyan has recently
announced that possible EU and US sanctions against Russia would affect
the Armenian economy. His opinion is shared by Tatul Manaseryan and
Sergey Minasyan.
According to head of the analysis centre Alternative, Tatul
Manaseryan, such sanctions would affect trade ties and joint investment
projects. He believes, however, that Western sanctions against Russia
are improbable.
The deputy head of the Caucasus Institute, Sergey Minasyan, said
possible EU and US sanctions would first of all damage the Armenian
financial system, because in the sphere of finance Armenian-Russian
ties are especially close.
