YEREVAN. – US Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern refrained from giving a comment on the possible US sanctions against Russian enterprises.   

The ambassador preferred not to comment on Armenian News-NEWS.am’s query on whether he believes sanctions would be imposed upon the Russian companies that have subsidiaries in Armenia.

More than 1,000 enterprises with Russian capital conduct activities in Armenia.

At the last meeting between US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Kerry had stated that the US sanctions against Russia may be broadened, and that this is based on the decree which the US President signed last week.
