All efforts are being made to throw Armenia out of the Russian market. This is what President of the Agrarian-Rural Union NGO Hrach Berberyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“I am giving the first impulse, and this is very serious. When Uzbeks and Kyrgyzs bring produce to the central vegetable market in Moscow, they pay 20,000 rubles, the same amount that Armenians used to pay five years ago. Later, Armenians started paying 30,000 rubles, and now they pay 65,000 rubles. In other words, Russia is making efforts to not let Armenians take apricots to Moscow. I’m not even mentioning the fact that services for Armenians are expensive,” he said.

According to Berberyan, this is not the result of deterioration of Russian-Armenian relations, but evidence of the fact that the ministers and deputy ministers of agriculture aren’t working efficiently.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
