The trade figures between Armenia and Russia mentioned by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Dushanbe are accurate, Armenian Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan wrote on social media.

“Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has publicized the figures published by the RA [(Republic of Armenia)] Statistical Committee, and therefore they are absolutely correct,” Papoyan wrote.

As reported earlier, at Friday’s Commonwealth of Independent States’ (CIS) summit in the Tajik capital, Dushanbe, Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan and Russian President Vladimir Putin had discussed the growth of trade between their countries, but given differing numbers in that regard.
