YEREVAN. – Zhoghovurd daily of the Republic of Armenia (RA) writes: At the EAEU session, the RA government raised issues related to the transportation of vehicles from Armenia to the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is well known that the potential buyers - Kazakhs - of cars [in Armenia] have not set foot in the auto market [of the country] for more than two weeks. The Kazakh side has created serious problems for Armenia residents selling cars.

It turns out that Armenians had no right to sell cars to Kazakhstan after entering the EEU during the transitional period, and they were to be used only by RA citizens permanently residing in Armenia.

Zhoghovurd daily had written that Armenia’s Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan is dealing with this issue. To note, he is on a working visit to Kazakhstan these days and is participating in the EEU session. The Deputy Prime Minister had told us that he would raise this issue.

Yesterday, Zhoghovurd daily had a phone conversation with RA Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan, and inquired whether the RA government had raised this issue at the EEU session to defend the rights of RA citizens.

In response to our question, RA Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan said that bilateral consultations had been held on the issue of transportation of vehicles from Armenia to the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Judging by the situation, it can be assumed that the Kazakh side is quite combat-ready in this matter.
