Unofficial negotiations have started with the government of Russia regarding the allocation to Armenia of a large loan in the near future, writes the Haykakan Zhamanak daily.
According to the opposition newspaper, the matter is most likely to concern a sum of $800 million to $1 billion. The paper says the Armenian authorities began negotiations with the Russian side soon after they got a refusal from the European Union regarding the allocation of $1.5 billion to Armenia.
The Armenian government has not yet commented on this information, but the ex-foreign minister of Armenia, member of the Prosperous Armenia Party Vartan Oskanian has already voiced his concern over the possible development in remarks on his Facebook page.
