Peskov: The Armenian Prime Minister may visit Russia in the near future, but the exact date has not yet been agreed upon.

ArmInfo. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan may visit Russia in the near future, but the exact date has not yet been agreed upon. This was announced to journalists by Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov on September 24, according to TASS.

"While the exact date has not yet been agreed upon, there is still an understanding, an agreement between the president [of Russia, Vladimir Putin] and the prime minister [of Armenia] that such a visit will take place in the near future," the Kremlin spokesman said.

He also again called on Armenia to decide on its participation in the EU or the EAEU. Peskov noted that Russia respects Armenia's sovereign rights, but at the same time, Yerevan needs to decide whether to participate in the Eurasian Economic Union or the European Union, as the standards of these associations are inconsistent.

"We respect all of Armenia's sovereign rights, but at the same time, Armenia is a participant in the EAEU integration process, and a gradual shift to other standards will not correlate with EAEU standards in a wide variety of areas," the Kremlin spokesman said. "This is what we mean when we say it's crucial to make a choice." "And it's crucial that one of the EAEU member countries does not conflict with the rules, regulations, and principles of this integration association, which is important to us all," Peskov emphasized.
