Zakharova: Armenia derives the greatest benefits from the EAEU

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that the trade turnover between Armenia and Russia is not bad, which ensures the stable growth of the Armenian economy. According to her, Armenia derives the greatest benefits from the EAEU. The country’s political leadership understands this very well.

“I am surprised, as if the EAEU and the CSTO are different countries. This indicates that the West is putting pressure on Armenia, which is what the leaders of the Western countries say. This is reflected in the political rhetoric of Yerevan. Some political forces in Yerevan deliberately spread disinformation that the CSTO failed to protect Armenia. The claims made regularly by Yerevan are absurd and do not correspond to the facts. Against this backdrop, the political dialogue and interdepartmental cooperation with Russia is limited. In other words, the economy shows one thing, and the political elite does the opposite,” Zakharova said, adding that it is not in the interests of the Armenian people, and disinformation is meant to cover up their own political wrong decisions.
