Armenian premier to visit Russia in near future 

ArmInfo.  In the near future, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will visit the Russian Federation. As reported by TASS, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei  Overchuk told journalists on August 15. "Nikol Vovaevich was in  Russia two weeks ago. We also expect him in Russia in the near  future," he said.

The Russian Deputy Prime Minister also said that he would travel to  Yerevan next week to discuss Armenia's work in the Eurasian Economic  Union (EAEU). "Next week, I am flying to Yerevan. The trip itself was  planned in advance, it is connected with the fact that a normative  legal act, a decree of the Armenian government, has appeared in the  legal framework of the Republic of Armenia, which, in our opinion,  contradicts the law of the Eurasian Economic Union," Overchuk said.

According to him, this issue will be discussed during the upcoming  visit. "Afterwards, a meeting took place in Washington, and a  declaration was signed. Therefore, it is also expected that there  will possibly be a meeting with [Armenian Prime Minister] Nikol  Vovaevich Pashinyan, where we will discuss certain nuances that are  primarily related to unblocking communications in the South Caucasus  region," he added.

The Deputy Prime Minister explained that Russia is interested in  issues related to its interests in the South Caucasus, including the  development of rail communications.
