Armenian economy minister Artsvik Minasyan said that Armenia’s exports to Russia totaled $168 million in the first half of this year and that there is room for building up them.
According to the National Statistical Service of Armenia, the country’s exports to the Eurasian Economic Union member countries have grown 83.7% over the first six month of this year to $174.6 million, ARKA reports.

“It is possible to expect further growth of exports to the Eurasian Economic Union, especially to Russia,” he said.
