“There are rumors circulating on telegram channels that we should ban the import of Russian goods to our country. I just want to share with you what products are imported from Russia in the form of information, so that you can imagine what consequences this can have,” said Harutyun Mnatsakanyan, an agriculturist and a member of the “Strong Armenia” party’s pre-election list, in a video published on his social network page.

According to him, more than 80% of the grain used in the field of animal husbandry is imported from Russia to Armenia.

“It’s in the form of wheat, barley, corn, rye and other crops. In other words, our entire livestock sector, our daily bread comes from Russian wheat.

Oil for our daily use, grains: peas, lentils, buckwheat, types of rice, oat flakes are imported from Russia in large volumes, vodkas are imported from Russia at a cheap price.

Liquid gas, natural gas, diesel fuel, gasoline, etc. are imported from Russia.

I just want to understand if you are spreading these narratives, if exports are closed, the businessmen will face a problem, you closed the import, the entire population will face problems… What do you think, what do you think, with which organ do you think, dear people? Such statements cannot be made without a hint of responsibility,” said Harutyun Mnatsakanyan.
