Armenia is holding an emergency meeting within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) due to cargoes that Russia does not accept at the Upper Lars checkpoint. This was reported by TASS Referring to Armenian Minister of Economy Vahan Kerobyan.
“We have received the materials published by Rosselkhoznadzor and are examining them to understand to what extent the products of our businessmen do not comply with current standards in the Russian Federation. It is strange that during the year 35 cars were returned, and two days later another 35 were returned, and the quality of the goods did not change. “We have organized an emergency meeting within the EAEU, which will take place in two days,” Kerobyan said.
Before that, Nikolay Silaev, researcher at the MGIMO Center for Caucasus Problems and Regional Security statedThat Armenia constantly spoils relations with Russia.
At the same time, official Yerevan claims that it does not intend to leave the CSTO, CIS and EAEU. According to Silaev, there may be several reasons for the harsh anti-Russian rhetoric of Armenian officials; Among these, Russia’s attempt to negotiate additional preferences by increasing contacts with the West stands out.
Previously Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov statedWestern countries, which are currently actively courting Armenia, want to be friends with this republic against Russia.
