Where does the assumption come from that Russia has closed, or is closing, or will close its market to us? We are a member of EAEU and our economic relations are regulated. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this in an interview to Public Television.

Commenting on the fact that for days, trucks loaded with Armenian brandy were not allowed to enter Russia, Pashinyan said: "How many times has this situation happened in the last 20 years? We have had that situation 100 times. Each time we need to be familiar with the nuances to draw conclusions. I tried to understand that issue, and we have received assurances that there is no political context there. That issue has been resolved. My message to our businessmen was the following: quality standards must be adhered to very seriously. When our products are of high quality and competitive, all markets are open."
