ArmInfo.Objectively, the region, Russia, and the international community are interested in the Transcaucasia becoming not only a region of peace and stability, but also successfully, dynamically developing, thereby contributing to international economic relations. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to Armenia Sergei Kopyrkin stated this in an interview to Public Television.
"For us, this is still of particular importance, because Armenia, like Russia, is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, this is a matter of regional integration.
Unblocking ties will have a positive effect on the integration processes within the framework of our Union>, - he said. In this context, he pointed to ties with Iran, which for Russia is a very important partner in economic and political terms. Noting that unblocking roads for Russia is a pressing issue, Kopyrkin stressed that the Russian side, despite all the contradictions, is making active efforts to start this process.
"It is very important for Armenia to overcome this transport blockade, this will immediately allow unlocking the potential of the Armenian people, Armenia, as a very promising economic operator," the Ambassador noted.
