A sharp turnaround in foreign policy can’t give anything useful.

The Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, noted the aforesaid during Friday’s press conference at the Moscow headquarters of the Eurasian Economic Commission—the executive body of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) which comprises Armenia, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.

Pashinyan recalled that when he was an MP, he had voted against Armenia’s joining the Eurasian Union, and, subsequently, he had launched debates on Armenia withdrawing from the EAEU.

“But if we find that it’s a bad decision, it doesn’t mean that opposite steps need to be made to correct the mistake,” Pashinyan said.

The PM added that today Armenia is a member in the EAEU, and therefore the efforts by the country’s leadership should serve toward making the Eurasian Union more effective for its participants.

As per Armenia’s premier, the aforementioned applies to the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), too.

“We have to do everything so that Armenia’s membership in those organizations be more effective, useful, and promising,” Nikol Pashinyan concluded.
