Any decision by Armenia on membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) will not in any way affect the stability of the union. Valentina Matvienko, Speaker of the Federation Council of the Russian Federal Assembly, stated this in response to a question from TASS.

"As for the stability of the Eurasian Economic Union, regardless of what decision Armenia’s authorities make, it will not in any way affect the stability of the union. It has proven its effectiveness and mutual benefit. The interest of other countries in cooperation with the EAEU is constantly growing," Matvienko told reporters.
