“If we talk about orders, they didn’t decrease, nobody refused, on the contrary, we receive information from colleagues - NAMI and Aurus himself that the number is gradually increasing, not by ordinal values, but there are additional applications,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Manturov said that the work on the production of cars "did not stop for a single day" and was carried out in compliance with the requirements of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare.

In March, Aurus CEO Adil Shirinov said that so far more than 700 applications for cars have been received.
