It is necessary for Yerevan to answer the question about the strategic choice between EAEU and the EU as soon as possible. This was announced by Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
According to him, Armenia’s behavior cannot be called bona fide membership of EAEU. The diplomat added that, judging by the statements of the Armenian authorities, it turns out that participation in the EAEU is now only a temporary measure for Yerevan to prepare for EU membership.
“Pashinyan’s recent statements regarding the EAEU divert the conversation to the field of demagoguery, as it already happened in the case of the freezing of Armenia’s participation in the CSTO,” said Zakharova.
