Pashinyan: There is no need to choose between the EU and the EAEU today

Following his visit to Berlin, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan traveled to Moscow to attend a meeting of the EAEU Intergovernmental Council. He told reporters, emphasizing that Armenia simultaneously seeks to deepen relations with the EU and maintain its membership in the EAEU.

Pashinyan noted that a decision on future strategy will be made if these vectors become incompatible.

"Simultaneous membership in both is impossible. There is no need to make a decision today. If there is no need, why do it?" the prime minister commented.

Meanwhile, according to Russian Telegram channels, Pashinyan's plane was unable to land immediately in Moscow due to airspace restrictions related to the overnight drone attacks. The plane was diverted to St. Petersburg and landed at Pulkovo Airport.
