Russia hopes that the restoration of transport routes will create new opportunities for increasing trade with Armenia. Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexei Overchuk spoke about the position of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan on transport and economic relations in the region. He told reporters that the meetings of the trilateral working group are continuing: “The seventh and last meeting in a row was held in mid-August in Moscow. All parties responsible for economic and transport relations in the region are discussing how to do this. The restoration of transport routes will create new opportunities for expanding and increasing trade between Armenia and Russia. Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan said that for many years there have been restrictions on transport. Therefore, although it is obvious that the opening of relations will have a positive effect on the economy, it is too early to talk about specific figures.
