We, meaning the government, will not need the Russian market or the Armenian people? By the way, did you ask the people? If the restrictions continue a little longer, then we will no longer need the Russian market - Papoyan Minister of Economy of the Republic of Armenia Geborg Papoyan, at a joint meeting of the standing committees of the National Assembly for economic affairs and financial-credit-budgetary issues, also raised the issue of the quality of fish exported from Armenia during the preliminary discussion of the state budget for 2027. According to him, the best idea of quality comes from exporting. "We thought our fish was bad and could only be sold in Russia, but it turned out to be very good, it can be sold in the United Arab Emirates and the European Union. If these restrictions continue a little longer (we are talking about Russian restrictions - editor's note). ), then we won't need the Russian market in terms of fish exports," Papoyan said. According to him, when we think the world is going to collapse on us, it won't happen for a simple reason: our economy is quite resilient, and we have already seen this resilience. "Agriculture experienced a decrease of 4.8 percent in a situation where the vast majority of our agricultural produce reaches a country where all distribution channels are closed. According to the logic of those who close the channels, our agriculture should have decreased not by 4.8 percent, but by 48. But it fell by 4.8 percent because it first provided the support and the government on time. Prepare our economy in time for the required readiness," said the Minister of Economy.
