Kocharyan: Armenia will face an economic crisis if Pashinyan and his group win the elections.

"Literally like this: we will not decide anything in a referendum until we are invited to join the EU. And then, of course, we will run to Europe. And until then, we will gain the advantages of the Eurasian Economic Union, and reap huge profits from Russia and other EAEU countries... Well done (Pashinyan), of course," the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia wrote on the "Maks" platform.

The Prime Minister of Armenia stated that his country will continue to work within the Eurasian Economic Union until the choice between it and the European Union becomes unavoidable, after which a referendum will be held.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed the need for Armenia to quickly resolve its position on its choice between the European Union and the Eurasian Union, pointing to the possibility of reaching what he described as a "calm and civilized divorce."

Earlier, Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov mentioned that the issue of Armenia was discussed at the EAEU summit, where the leaders of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan issued a joint statement on this matter, calling for a referendum in Armenia on joining the European Union or remaining in the Eurasian Economic Union.
