Armenia’s membership in the European Union (EU) is Yerevan’s business and its sovereign right; there are no contacts with Moscow on this matter, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk told reporters on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum.

“No,” Overchuk said, answering the respective question. “The matter of Armenia’s EU membership is Armenia’s business. Whatever they decide, it will be so. It is their sovereign right.”
