Dear people, we are not only aware but actively working on it. Papoyan to the protesters

Dear people, we are not only aware but actively working on it. At this moment, I cannot say more, as many of you are also involved with this issue. If I share a couple of additional working details, it might interfere with our common work; but believe me, we are addressing this matter at the highest level within the EAEU, and I have great hope that the problem will be resolved.

This was stated by Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan to the truck drivers protesting in front of the Government. "You have the right to hold demonstrations and protests, but I assure you that without these protests, we have been working on this for a week now and will continue to do so until we reach a resolution that can address the issue to some extent. I will speak frankly: I know that the 90-day option does not work in our case, as you could be stuck at Upper Lars for 90 days in a year, if not more," he noted.

It should be added that truck drivers are staging a protest in front of the Armenian government building. Recall that since September 10, citizens of countries with visa-free entry to Russia, who enter Russia for non-working purposes, can stay in Russian territory for a total of 90 days within the calendar year, instead of the previous 180 days. The drivers had previously held protests against these changes and hope that the issue will be resolved so they can continue their transport activities.
