Armenia to face  a definite choice between EAEU and  EU, Overchuk  says

ArmInfo.Armenia will have to choose between the EAEU and the European Union at some point, and Russia will comprehend Yerevan's choice with understanding, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk  said.

"Of course, as Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has  repeatedly stated, we will respect whatever path the Armenian people  ultimately decide to take. They talk about their aspiration to move  closer to the European Union. We have said many times that membership  in the EAEU and the EU is incompatible. Armenia understands this very  well... At some stage, they will have to make that choice, if they  decide that they need to make such a choice," he said on the  sidelines of the forum in Kazan. "Armenia is a very close country to  us, it is an allied state. It is a member of the Eurasian Economic  Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the Collective  Security Treaty Organization. And the human ties that unite us are  incredibly deep, significant, and very long-standing. And we have  great respect for the people of Armenia," Overchuk emphasized, as  quoted by RIA Novosti.
