The head of the Armenian government assures that there will be no food security problem in our country against the background of military operations in neighboring Iran and restrictions on food exports as a result.
In a briefing with journalists after the government session held on March 12 Nikol Pashinyan emphasized that the bans applied by Tehran are not a reason for serious concern. The head of the executive reminded that Armenia itself is a state that exports agricultural products and supplies foreign markets with tens of thousands of tons of food. Therefore, according to the Prime Minister, there is no need to worry in this direction.
Referring to the risks of possible inflation caused by the war situation in the neighboring country, the head of the government noted that the relevant bodies are monitoring the market on a daily basis, and appropriate preventive steps will be taken if necessary.
It should be reminded that the Iranian government imposed restrictions on the export of food after the military operations started by the USA and Israel on February 28, in response to which Tehran attacks Israel and the American military bases located in the Persian Gulf.
