Armenian banks stopped accepting Mir cards in April not because of Yerevan’s policy, but because of unprecedented US pressure, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing, APA reports citing TASS.
"Many countries are facing unprecedented pressure from the United States - the threat of sanctions or secondary sanctions. Of course, economic agencies, companies, banks, and other institutions are taking measures to hedge risks," he said.
Peskov added that Russia and Armenia continue to work to correct the situation with the acceptance of Mir cards and compensate for the damage caused by US pressure.
