Currently, the role of the Eurasian Economic Union is increasing, because, unfortunately, the world is experiencing difficult economic times, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated during a meeting with Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko in Yerevan on Thursday.

According to him, in this situation the mechanisms of the EAEU help a lot.

"Every crisis situation brings new opportunities. For example, the trade turnover between Armenia and Belarus has more than doubled compared to last year. The total volume is not so large, but there is a very good dynamics and I hope that after our meeting and talks it will be possible to maintain this economic dynamics. We are interested in this. I hope that we will have more common projects which will be competently organized and will benefit both Belarus and Armenia. Armenia and Belarus are partners. We have participated in several formats together, and the Eurasian Economic Union is one of the main platforms where we cooperate," Pashinyan noted.
