Armenia is very close to the point when Russia will have to rebuild its economic relations with it. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk said this in an interview with TASS:
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that during bilateral meetings, as well as within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), “Armenian leaders talk about friendship with Russia and assure their loyalty to the EEU.”
“Our discussions are sincere and always respectful. At the same time, comparing words with actions, we conclude that our partners are very close to the point when we will have to rebuild our economic relations with this country,” said Overchuk.
He noted that the Russian government, by virtue of its authority, is “concerned with the future prospects of trade and economic relations with Armenia”.
“Taking into account the announcement of the sale of the concession, the general understanding of the regional context and the policy of rapprochement of the Armenian leadership with the EU, serious questions arise regarding their future,” he stated.
