Armenia ready to compete with other Russia's tomato suppliers

Armenia is ready to compete with the current suppliers of tomato to the Russian market, and to even throw them out, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said.

“When problems arise for someone, it sometimes becomes an opportunity for others; we [Armenia] took advantage of this last year [when there was a crisis between Russia and Turkey],” RIA Novosti cited Sargsyan as saying. 

“This branch [growing tomatoes] is developing in Russia, too. But the [respective] market is so huge that an increase in the number of players here does not obstruct anyone; it is only useful," the President added.
