Peskov and Pashinyan disagree on Russian grain exports to Armenia

Armenia has no intentions to reject Russian grain in favor of the Ukrainian one, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said, commenting on information of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service that Yerevan will reject Russian grain for political considerations in favor of Ukrainian one.

"This cannot be so. This is an absolute misapprehension," Pashinyan said.

Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov also commented on an SVR report about Armenia's plans to buy grain from Ukraine instead of Russia.

"SVR reports are never baseless," Peskov said.

At the same tine, the spokesman stressed that Russia continues to advance cooperation with Armenia both on a bilateral basis and within the framework of integration processes.

"We continue to advance our cooperation with Yerevan both on a bilateral basis and within the framework of integration processes. We will continue to do this. Contacts at the highest level are held frequently," Peskov said.
