Pashinyan seeks Putin's help on Armenian export restrictions

Pashinyan seeks Putin's help on Armenian export restrictions

Armenia's Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan, called Russian President Vladimir Putin to ask for help with a problem.

Russia has stopped some Armenian products, like fruits and flowers, from being sold in Russia.

Pashinyan thinks this is unfair because both countries are part of a trade group called the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).

He wants to fix this issue through talking.

Meanwhile, Russia wants Armenia to hold a vote about joining the European Union soon.

Armenia relies on Russia for energy and trade, but it's also trying to make friends with Western countries.
