According to Grigoryan, the sides first tried to resolve the issue within the Eurasian Economic Union, but failed, so the matter was settled on a bilateral format. "We made a decision to establish a free border regime on a mutual basis for all citizens who have negative test results or have already had coronavirus," Grigoryan said. Once travelers receive the results of the Covid-19 tests, they get the "green light" to buy a ticket and cross the border of both Armenia and Russia.
