YEREVAN — Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan telephoned Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday to discuss Armenia’s plans to strive to join the European Union which have prompted stern warnings from Moscow.
“Nikol Pashinyan explained the situation related to Yerevan’s recent steps in the context of relations with the European Union. The Russian leader gave corresponding comments and assessments,” the Kremlin said in a statement on the call. It did not disclose Putin’s comments.
The statement also said they discussed “further deepening of integration cooperation” between Russia and Armenia. “Significant practical benefits from joint work within the Eurasian Economic Union, including for the Armenian economy,” were noted in that context, added the statement.
The Armenian government’s press office said, for its part, that the two leaders discussed the results of Armenia’s presidency in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), upcoming events within the framework of the EEU, as well as a number of issues on the bilateral agenda of Armenian-Russian relations.
