Pashinyan Says EU-EAEU Referendum Currently Illogical
Pashinyan: A Referendum on Choosing Between the EU and the EAEU Is Illogical at This Stage
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has stated that holding a referendum asking citizens to choose between the European Union and the Eurasian Economic Union would be illogical at the present time. Pashinyan's comments reflect Armenia's current position within the EAEU, a trade bloc that includes Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. The statement comes amid broader discussions about Armenia's geopolitical orientation and its relationships with Western and regional institutions. Armenia has maintained EAEU membership while simultaneously pursuing deeper ties with European bodies, a balancing act that has defined much of its recent foreign policy under Pashinyan's administration.
