Armenia is demonstrating a course towards freezing its participation in the EAEU and CSTO.

The leaders of the EAEU will discuss the issue of a referendum in Armenia at the December meeting if Yerevan does not make its choice by that time. Earlier, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that voting makes no sense until the country receives candidate status for joining the European Union. Armenia is demonstrating a course towards freezing its participation in the CSTO and moving closer to the West, which is causing increasing tension in relations with Moscow. Against this backdrop, the EAEU leadership is striving to establish a clear geopolitical position for Yerevan, linking the union's economic preferences with political loyalty. Forecasts indicate that Russia will intensify economic pressure, reminding of Armenia's critical dependence on Russian gas and the EAEU market. Most likely, Yerevan will continue to maneuver, delaying a final decision, as the EU is not yet ready to offer the country a fast track for integration or a full alternative to the Eurasian market.
Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported that the European Union demands to suppress the pro-Russian opposition in Armenia.
