Prime Minister: Armenia has long been prepared for various scenarios

ArmInfo. Armenia has long been prepared for various scenarios. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan made this statement  during a briefing on April 9, in response to a question about a possible increase in the process of Russian gas in Armenia, given the existing restrictions on flower and cognac exports from Armenia.

However, the Prime Minister urged against thinking in terms of "if."  He emphasized that Armenia and Russia have long-term agreements.  "There is no basis for what you said," Pashinyan added. According to  him, Armenia cannot have relations with any country based on the  logic of thinking about one party violating the agreement. "And this  means that the violating party is not a party to the agreement. How  can that be?" he asked.

Commenting on the restrictions imposed by Russia on the export of  flowers and cognac from Armenia, the prime minister noted that each  case must be considered individually. He recalled that he had  repeatedly spoken about the need to standardize production. Moreover,  according to Pashinyan, the state has invested millions of dollars in  implementing these processes.
