YEREVAN, August 4. /ARKA/. Russia has suspended the sale of more than 70,000 bottles of drinking water and soft drinks produced in Armenia.

The restrictions apply to BJNI mineral drinking and medicinal table water, produced at the RRR mineral water plant, as well as Prosto Azbuka natural drinking water, including children's water, from the Armenian company VATERLOK, and the non-alcoholic Mojito brand DARBAS (Arsen ev Nerses LLC).
"Currently, the sale of the batches specified by Rospotrebnadzor is prohibited in retail and online channels until all necessary inspections are completed. "The labeling system is integrated with every cash register in the country, which allows for an immediate consumer protection mechanism," commented Revaz Yusupov, Deputy Director General of the Center for the Development of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the Russian Federation.
Restrictions on the supply of Armenian products to Russia
Since the end of May, Russia has been gradually introducing restrictions on the supply of certain products from Armenia, citing violations of phytosanitary requirements. The restrictions apply to flowers, mineral water, certain types of alcoholic beverages, vegetables, fruits, berries, grapes, potatoes, dried fruits, and later to live fish and fish products. And, starting on July 27, dairy products.
The restrictions also include a ban on the transit of products of Armenian origin through Russia to other EAEU countries.
