Pashinyan: Armenia Pursuing Both EAEU and EU Integration
Armenia Will Move Toward Both the EAEU and EU as Long as They Remain Compatible, Pashinyan Says
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that Armenia will continue pursuing integration with both the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the European Union simultaneously, provided the two blocs remain compatible.
Pashinyan characterized the dual-track approach as a sovereign Armenian decision. The statement reflects Armenia's ongoing balancing act between its Russian-led regional alliance and closer ties with Western institutions.
The EAEU includes Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. Meanwhile, Armenia has been strengthening European partnerships in recent years amid regional tensions. The compatibility of these two vectors of integration remains a key consideration for Armenian policymakers as geopolitical dynamics in the South Caucasus continue to evolve.
