Pashinyan Assures Putin on Armenia's European Union Path

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Bishkek to discuss Armenia's deepening ties with the European Union. Pashinyan stated that Armenia's EU integration efforts are not directed against Russia or the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), of which Armenia is a member. The remarks reflect Armenia's effort to balance its relationships with both Western institutions and its longtime Russian ally as geopolitical tensions persist in the South Caucasus. The meeting underscores ongoing diplomatic efforts to clarify Armenia's foreign policy trajectory amid regional instability and questions about its security commitments.
