It is quite possible that in this summer the delivery of diamond raw
materials from Russia will be implemented to Armenia, said Nerses
Yeritsyan the minister of economics in a press conference today. The
Minister explained why the delivery has been stopped: there were some
problems in the customs service.
The minister notified that on February 6 when the Prime Ministers
of Armenia and Russia met the chairman of the Russian Government
authorized the minister of Finance to organize the meeting between
the customs representatives of Armenia and Russia to solve the
problem. Whereas the presidential elections implemented in the both
countries have stopped the cooperation in this regard.
Remind: On August 6 Armenian Government and "ALROSA" company signed
a contract according to which Russian diamonds will be processed
in Armenia.
