Pashinyan acknowledged the impossibility of Armenia being in the EU and the EAEU at the same time

Armenia cannot simultaneously be a member of the European Union (EU) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this on August 28.

"We understand that simultaneous membership in the EU and the EAEU is impossible. When the time comes for the final choice, we will make the appropriate decision," he said at a briefing broadcast on the YouTube channel of the Armenian Express agency.

On June 30, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan announced that Armenia and the EU had started discussing cooperation in the field of security and defense. According to him, it will be aimed at strengthening the stability of the state and further developing democratic institutions.

On the same day, Armenian political analyst Arman Abovyan told Izvestia that the European Union (EU) would not be able to provide protection to Armenia, despite constant promises of security, as Europe itself has big problems in this area.
