The matter of recognition of Armenian driver's licenses in the Russian Federation (RF) is on the agenda of bilateral discussions. This is reported by the Republic of Armenia Ministry of Foreign Affairs (RA MFA) in response to a written request by Sputnik Armenia. "At the same time, we inform that the [two] parties have recorded the importance of legal formulation in the matter of the regulation of the right of RA citizens to drive vehicles in the territory of the RF in order to carry out commercial activities on the basis of national driver's licenses", the Armenian MFA added. To note, the State Duma of Russia had decided to indefinitely postpone the debates on the bill on the recognition of Armenian driver's licenses of Armenian citizens when carrying out business and work activities in Russia. In response, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan had stated that the non-recognition of Armenian driver's license in Russia contradicts the fundamental principle of free movement of goods, services, capital, and labor of the Eurasian Economic Union.
