Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk announced that the trade turnover of Russia and Armenia decreased by 2/3 compared to last year.

In 2024, the trade turnover between Russia and Armenia reached about 12 billion dollars, in 2025 it had decreasedreaching about 8 billion dollars.

“Strong Armenia” party leader Samvel Karapetyan, referring to this image at a press conference, said:

“I consider it the “successes” of this incompetent government, that they must impoverish our villagers.”

Samvel Karapetyan also referred to Nikol Pashinyan’s statement that the National Electric Power Company will be nationalized and will be handed over to the national administration.

“They must first be able to take it to hand it over. There are Armenian and international courts for that. We are now fighting against their iniquities.  We are moving forward step by step in the European courts. We have an arbitration decision that prohibits them from taking any action against that asset,” he stressed.

Referring to the government’s accusations that surcharges were written on military units and kindergartens, the businessman said that the government does not have any evidence.

“For 1 year and 2 months, they have been managing the HEC and they don’t have any evidence; HEC is an active body, about 3000 people in HEC have the opportunity to commit such illegalities. Now Pashinyan has squandered 8.5 billion dollars, what, should we stop and say that he ate the 8.5 billion dollars, although he may have benefited from some part, but such insults are irresponsible statements, especially when the court they rule has already denied all of it.”
