🇷🇺🇦🇲⚡️- "Armenian banks must identify and block transactions that may be intended to circumvent international sanctions against Russia under new rules that took effect on Aug. 12. The requirements are set out in regulations on banks’ minimum internal control standards approved by the Armenian Central Bank.

The measures, which could further restrict Russians’ access to Armenia’s banking system and disrupt payment routes used to transfer money from Russia to other countries, come as Armenia pursues closer ties with the European Union amid a deterioration in relations with Moscow." - Moscow Times.
