Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that the country remains a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and that it is still too early to hold a referendum on choosing between the EAEU and the European Union, News.am reported.
According to Pashinyan, as long as Armenia has not officially applied for European Union membership or is not very close to obtaining EU candidate status, holding any referendum would be illogical because it would be impossible to explain what consequences the country would face under either option.
“Putting a theoretical choice to a referendum is wrong and unjustified,” he said.
The Armenian prime minister assured that the country would continue to work within the framework of the EAEU.
On Friday, during the EAEU summit, where Armenia was represented at the level of deputy prime minister, the four other member states adopted a statement saying that the signatories “share the view that the Republic of Armenia should hold a nationwide referendum as soon as possible on joining the European Union or remaining a member of the Eurasian Economic Union.”
