Armenian officials have pushed back on reports of a bitumen shortage in the country, saying Armenia is not experiencing a deficit of the material and that supplies arriving under agreements with Russia have continued without interruption.
Bitumen, used primarily in road construction and infrastructure projects, is an important import for countries like Armenia that rely on external suppliers to meet domestic construction demand. Concerns about potential shortages can affect planning for road and infrastructure projects, making clear communication from officials about supply levels significant for industry stakeholders.
The statement appears to respond directly to reports or concerns that had circulated about a possible disruption in bitumen supplies. By confirming that deliveries under existing agreements with Russia remain ongoing, officials sought to reassure the public and industry that construction activity dependent on the material would not be affected.
Russia remains a key trading partner for Armenia across a range of goods, including construction materials, amid broader economic ties between the two countries.
