ArmInfo. The situation with the sale of Armenian fruits in the Russian market was stabilized. On July 21, during a video conference organized by the Armenian service of Radio Liberty, the Spokesperson of the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs Anna Naghdalyan stated this.
In her words, as a result of joint efforts of the Armenian Embassy and Russian partners, the problem was solved on the spot. Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan also touched upon the issue during the meeting of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission. In particular, he called the counterparts to study this problem. "In this issue, we will be consistent so that this kind of development is suppressed," Anna Naghdalyan noted.
To note, in Moscow, against the background of clashes on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, , a number of incidents occurred on the territory of the Russian Federation with the participation of Armenians and Azerbaijanis. This was reflected in the activities of Armenian exporters, who faced the problem of selling products in the Food City market in Moscow. In particular, 50 trucks loaded with apricots were expelled from the market and could not sell perishable goods. The situation was saved by the large Armenian community, which began to buy up apricots, demonstrating unity and solidarity. Moreover, a Russian businessman of Armenian origin Samvel Karapetyan provided his territories for parking trucks. Similar events took place in St. Petersburg. Fruit suppliers from Armenia complained that after the escalation of the armed conflict between Baku and Yerevan, they were asked to leave the "Azerbaijani" markets in St. Petersburg. According to representatives of the Diaspora, at midnight on July 17, "trucks with Armenian goods were removed from the Azeri-controlled markets of the northern capital." As a result, suppliers lost the ability to sell perishable products. Apricots and peaches that arrived from Armenia were urgently sold at wholesale prices directly from trucks.
