Pashinyan criticizes Russia’s restrictions on Armenian goods as “wrong step”

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has criticized restrictions on Armenian agricultural goods imposed by Russia as a “wrong step,” warning that such measures risk turning public sentiment against the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Armenpress reports.

“I think these are wrong steps, because they turn people against the EAEU. And I, as an official holding a senior position in the EAEU, consider this a problem. But we will solve all the problems,” Pashinyan said when asked about the matter by Russian media outlet Izvestia.
