“According to Mr. Lavrov, Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus should apply economic sanctions against Turkey and Azerbaijan,” says Shahnazaryan.
Official Moscow does not rule out the possibility that there might be a need within the Customs Union to reverse the sanctions by the West against Russia, announced Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, today, in his interview to ru-an.info. “The normative legal base of the Customs Union enables its participants to undertake joint steps of trade character in the event of imposing economic pressures over one of its member states by a third countries. Nevertheless, at present, the question of implementation of these actions is not on the agenda of the Customs Union. However, we do not rule out that such a need may arise in the future,” said Lavrov.
Armenia’s former head of the National Security David Shahnazaryan, in the conversation with Aravot.am, in reverse to Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov’s above statement mentioned, “Well, in that case, first of all, members of the European Union: Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus should apply economic sanctions against Turkey and Azerbaijan, which, as it is well known, apply extreme economic sanctions against Armenia – blocking Armenia.”
