Russia supports Armenia’s plans to establish a transport corridor with Azerbaijan, known as the “Trump Route,” if Yerevan deems it necessary, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk told reporters.
“Armenia is our strategic ally, and if Armenia believes something is good for them, then of course we support Armenia in the matter,” Overchuk said.
The deputy prime minister will visit Yerevan next week to discuss Armenia’s activities within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
“The trip was planned in advance,” he noted. “It is connected to the fact that a new regulatory act — a decision by the Armenian government — has been adopted, which, in our view, contradicts EAEU law.”
According to Overchuk, this issue will be on the agenda during his upcoming visit.
