Russians working in Armenia contributed to country's GDP growth: Pashinyan

PanARMENIAN.Net - Most of the people who came to Armenia from Russia are dual nationals and have both Russian and Armenian citizenship, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said in an interview with the Czech magazine Respekt (via Armenpress).

Asked how many people from Russia arrived in Armenia as a result of the war in Ukraine and what effect this has had on Armenia, the Prime Minister noted that approximately 30 thousand people who only have Russian citizenship have come to Armenia.

"They have contributed to our economic growth because most of them are highly qualified and often work in the field of innovative technologies, which leads to economic activity. We are happy for their presence," Pashinyan stressed.
