Armenia’s agricultural products will be exported to the EU without customs duties. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at a briefing after voting in the parliamentary elections, ArmenPress reports.

This was preceded by a telephone conversation with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, on June 4, during which support measures were discussed.

It is reported that the first batch of Armenian flowers has already been sent to Latvia on the eve of this statement — on June 6.

Thus, the duty—free regime is part of Armenia’s broader strategy to reorient part of its exports from the Russian to the European market, supported financially both by the EU and by the country’s own budget.
