During an interview at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk addressed the issue of Armenia's aspirations to join the European Union while being a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). He described the situation as a working issue that should be treated routinely, emphasizing that the EAEU's legal framework does not allow for the exclusion or suspension of any member state. Overchuk pointed out that there are legal conflicts that need to be examined carefully, and he believes that Armenia will also engage in this process to address the gaps in EAEU law. He expressed concerns that Armenia's European ambitions could potentially harm the interests of Armenia, the Eurasian Union, and the businesses within these countries, which are currently facing uncertainty regarding their future actions. Overchuk's comments reflect a desire for calm discussions and collaborative efforts to resolve the legal complexities arising from Armenia's dual aspirations.
