Russia preparing letter to Armenia on EU alignment, says Russia’s deputy PM Overchuk

Russia is preparing a letter addressed to Armenia, noting that the norms of Yerevan’s efforts to align with the European Union conflict with the rules of the EAEU, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk told TASS.

“Russia is preparing a letter to Armenia regarding the contradiction between its new EU-alignment norms and the rules of the Eurasian Economic Union,” Overchuk stated.

On March 26, 2025, Armenia’s National Assembly passed a bill to initiate the country’s accession process to the European Union. The legislation was submitted by the civil initiative Eurovote.
