Russia bans imports of fish and dairy products from Armenia

Armenia has not provided Russia with documents that confirm the elimination of violations in fish and dairy production, the Rosselkhoznadzor reported. Restrictions on the supply of Armenian products to Russia remain, the ministry told TASS.

The Rosselkhoznadzor said that the inspection body of Armenia provided only guarantees to eliminate violations. “This is not enough to lift restrictions. Information about this was sent to the Armenian side, the ministry said.

Russia has been consistently restricting imports of Armenian products since May. Now the import of flowers, some items of alcohol, vegetables and fruits, mineral water, fish, fish and dairy products is prohibited. Rosselkhoznadzor explained the measures by revealing violations in the production of products. This was preceded by the aggravation of relations between the countries due to Yerevan’s course towards European integration.
