> Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said pursuing European Union membership does not conflict with Armenia’s commitments to Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union. He said a review of the legal frameworks found no breach of those obligations. Vladimir Putin had earlier argued that the EU push means Armenia plans to leave the EAEU because it cannot belong to both.
