azatutyun.am Russia is ready to engage in constructive dialogue with Armenia on issues of phytosanitary control. This was stated by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk in a comment to the Telegram channel "Юнашев Live".
"It is not about whether Armenia will recover or not, but rather that the requirements for phytosanitary control must be maintained. And, of course, we are ready for such constructive dialogue. However, unfortunately, we see that there are certain problems related to the Armenian side, and accordingly, this dialogue continues," Overchuk said.
He recalled that recently the Russian Minister of Agriculture Oksana Lut had raised issues related to the vegetables and fruits exported from Armenia during a meeting with the Armenian Minister of Economy.
"It is not that they are of poor quality, but there are pests and diseases among them," the Russian Deputy Prime Minister clarified.
In recent months, Russia has been gradually imposing restrictions on various goods exported from Armenia.
A few days ago, Russia demanded that Armenia present the results of sanitary inspections and a clear plan to comply with the veterinary and phytosanitary requirements of the EAEU.
