Pashinyan has already shipped Armenian products banned in Russia to Europe.

2 2026 June 12 623 26

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced that the country has already begun exporting to the European Union batches of products that were banned from import by Russia. According to the head of government, logistics chains have been quickly reorganized, and the first shipments have already been dispatched.

The exported goods include roses and vegetables. Pashinyan also clarified that the country's business delegations are currently actively working to find new markets. He promised to specify the recipient countries after the cargo arrives at their destinations. The prime minister emphasized that the products will be sent not only to the European Union but also to other international markets, ensuring that no product goes unclaimed.

Over the past two weeks, Russia has imposed restrictions on the import of a wide range of Armenian products, including flowers, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, cherries, plums, peaches, fish, and alcohol from several leading companies. On June 2, a new ban was announced, effective June 3: this includes potatoes, eggplants, dried fruits, and pome fruits.

Rosselkhoznadzor explains its actions by the systematic non-compliance of products with the unified phytosanitary rules of the Eurasian economic Union. However, in Yerevan, these measures are being called politicized. Nikol Pashinyan stated that the restrictive measures "turn people against the EAEU." The prime minister acknowledged the importance of adhering to quality standards but assured that quality control is high in Armenia itself. As a measure to support the affected companies, the government promised to pay them subsidies to cover their losses.

Pashinyan promised to pay farmers for the harvest they couldn't ship to Russia due to restrictions imposed by Rosselkhoznadzor. Today, we're at the stage of making a strategic choice. We're deciding the future of our state, our republic, and the transformation of our state into a new quality. And I say: if the peppers go bad, I'll pay for them, and the government will pay. But as a result of all this, both pepper production in Armenia and exports will increase, added on.

Doesn't Putin love to talk like that too?

By the way ..

Assess the return on investment. The European Union has provided Armenia with €2,2 million to support visa liberalization, the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs announced. The funding will be used for border management, document security, and law enforcement reform, the ministry's press service reported. This is the first program in Armenia that directly supports visa liberalization with the EU. Let me remind you that the wise politician has spent up to $70 million on breakfasts in Armenia alone over the past few years, not counting other billions of dollars in subsidies. Armenians have appreciated the kindness. The results are already here.

It would be better if he sent a million or two Armenian traders there from Russia.

  And then it suddenly turns out that there is no fruit on the shelves.
  In general, these threats and trade bans will not contribute to strengthening friendship between peoples. Armenia will increasingly draw closer to the United States, Azerbaijan, and Turkey.

    Agricultural production volume as a percentage, and thanks to the tax, the statistical error is in the area. If anyone thinks that in Europe they don't check quality compliance with certificates, I have to disappoint you: quality is monitored there.

    But was this friendship ever truly genuine? Do any Armenians still remember and express gratitude to the Russians for their assistance, material and otherwise, in restoring Spitak?

  There are so many Armenian sellers selling counterfeit and gray imports on marketplaces, it's like they've taken over. 😁. I wonder if they pay taxes properly there or if it's like the stalls where they keep tax collectors and inspectors. We should expect high-quality, high-quality Armenian agricultural products exported to us from other countries. For example, Georgia, Turkey, and Central Asia. Exporting from Armenia is difficult, and agricultural products aren't cheap, especially without the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) benefits. But the West can support 3 million people, especially by making money on transit.

It makes me smile, but it's sad.

about a new ban from June 3: it applies to supplies of potatoes, eggplants, dried fruits and pome fruits.

- No, it's not politicized.

  We used to buy Polish crap, remember? A Pole couldn't go to work without a cup of coffee—he needed money, so he'd buy it in exchange for friendship. And I remember Uncle Ben's, that African kid who came to us on a friendly visit to earn some extra cash. Armenian baked vegetables are still on our shelves, and these handmade Armenian vegetables will compete with Azerbaijani ones—let them fight for sales.

The brutes are lying, they "redirected" us. Who needs your products there?! They don't know what to do with their own! Everything will rot in your churkestan, and rightly so! Otherwise, this traitorous mug, along with the rest of those Armenian thieves and hucksters, wants to vilify us for our own money and live happily in Russia!

  Of course he redirected it, from one compost pit to another. The West will certainly hand over money for the "purchased product," and the Arabs will be paid to vote correctly.

    Exactly, exactly! They'll die, but they'll be against the Russians. We've already been through this with Georgia. We need to evict all these "poor" Armenians from their diaspora organized crime groups and their leaders (just like they once pressured and kicked out the Georgian thieves and their "businesses") who have seized our construction, repair, and road construction businesses!
    Next up are the Azerbaijanis!

Did they quickly restructure the logistics? It wouldn't be surprising if all this still ended up in Russia, but under a Turkish label.

    Only if it's to Belarus, via Russia. A roundabout route would be expensive, and they might rot.

Well, since everything is fine in Armenia, I think Putin has no reason to keep the Armenian mafia-diaspora here. We need to send these mangy Jews back to their homeland, let them sell dried apricots in Gayrope and get everyone out of power. We are a multinational country, we have a lot of different nationalities, but Armenians and other chebureks have their own homeland, let them build it up and improve it, there is no need to mess it up!
