The heads of state of the EAEU will discuss Armenia's status at the upcoming meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Astana on May 29. This was stated by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk in an interview with TASS.

"There will be a discussion there on the topic of Armenia's status in the Eurasian Economic Union. The issue is very complex. We do not want Armenia to leave the EAEU; we want Armenia to continue to prosper, but we see the problems that will arise in the event of accession to or closer ties with the EU. In principle, they are already emerging," he pointed out.

Overchuk drew attention to the fact that over 11 years of Armenia's participation in the EAEU, the country has literally flourished, with living standards and GDP increasing. "All this is happening to a significant extent thanks to the economic preferences that participation in the EAEU provides. No one will be able to replace that for Armenia," he said.
