ArmInfo. Armenia is ready to use all the available tools arising from its membership in the EAEU, if the issue of Azerbaijan's membership enters the agenda. Armenian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Anna Naghdalyan said this on October 24 at a briefing.
Earlier, on October 23, Sergey Glazyev, an adviser to the president of Russia, said that the doors of the EEU are open to all post-Soviet countries. He also expressed the conviction that the Eurasian Economic Union is open to all. In his conviction, if the EAEU covered all the post-Soviet states, then there would be much less conflict.
The representative of the Armenian Foreign Ministry recalled that Glazyev's words had already been commented by Veronika Nikishina, a member of the Board (Minister) for Trade of the Eurasian Economic Commission, noting that there was no question of Azerbaijan's membership on the EEU agenda. In addition, the founding documents of the EAEU clearly state that a member can become a state that did not act against the Organization and its members, Naghdalyan said. "If the issue of Azerbaijan's membership in the EAEU is put on the agenda, Armenia will take appropriate steps on the whole toolkit arising from the membership in the EAEU," the press secretary concluded.
