Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Alexander Pankin called the blocking of all Russian clients by the largest international payment systems unreasonable

MOSCOW, August 20. /TASS/. Russia is negotiating the use of Mir payment card with several countries, including Azerbaijan, China, and Egypt, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Pankin said in an interview with TASS.

“The unreasonable blocking of all Russian customers by the largest international card payment systems has increased the priority of expanding the geography of using Mir cards. We are actively working on it,” he said. “Negotiations with Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Egypt, India, China, Cuba, Myanmar, Nigeria, Thailand, and other countries are at different stages,” Pankin said.

He recalled that the Russian payment system currently can be used in such countries as Abkhazia, Armenia, Belarus, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, South Korea, and South Ossetia.

Emil Lazarian: “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
