Armenia does not intend to withdraw from the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), as its leadership is well aware of the benefits of participating in it. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk today, May 27.
"Armenia, as we know, is not going to leave the Eurasian Economic Union. They understand very well both the volume of preferences and the volume of trade with other EAEU member states. Such a volume of trade has largely become possible due to the preferential treatment that exists for Armenia. These are zero customs duties, harmonized standards, harmonized technical regulation. Today our markets are open, there is a free mutual movement of goods. Therefore, Armenians understand very well the advantage that participation in the Eurasian Economic Union gives them and do not want to leave," he said.
As EADaily reported, similar statements were made earlier by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan. At the same time, Yerevan has repeatedly proclaimed a course towards association with the EU. In this regard, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that Armenia will not be able to be in the EU and the EEA at the same time.
