«The EAEU is a platform where I will raise all issues related to our agenda. I will say what I said in the briefing: I stated that the EAEU is paralyzed. If the EAEU agreement is not functioning, then the EAEU is not functioning. And the EAEU is de facto in a paralyzed state, and paralysis is showing trends of deepening. If this issue is not resolved quickly, I am one hundred percent sure that the Republic of Armenia will overcome this problem, but the EAEU will not overcome it,» Pashinyan responded to a question from «Azatutyun».
After a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan had also stated the day before that the fate of the Eurasian Union is in doubt due to economic restrictions against Armenia:
«We are all currently acknowledging that this problem belongs to Armenia, but this problem does not belong to Armenia; it is the EAEU's problem, because it turns out that the Eurasian Economic Union is paralyzed and not functioning. If this issue is not resolved quickly, allow me to predict that this will be the beginning of the end for the EAEU,» Pashinyan said:
The four EAEU countries, however, have issued a statement demanding a clear choice: does Yerevan remain in this economic alliance, or does it take the European path?
