Along with the decrease in the prices of oil and natural gas in the world market, the Russian ruble depreciates, as a result of which the export of goods of Armenian origin to Russia loses its competitiveness. Armenian economist Suren Parsyan wrote about this on Facebook.

"At the same time, the consumption of Russians who temporarily moved to Armenia decreases, as they can acquire less goods and services in Armenia with the devalued ruble they brought with them. Of course, it will have an impact on Armenia's economic growth," Parsyan added.
