The statement about Armenia’s possible withdrawal from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) should be evaluated by its own people. This was stated on Wednesday, April 8, by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
– It’s a bit reminiscent of the story of threatening the hedgehog by revealing his abilities. “I do not want to comment seriously on the statements of emotional politicians, who, moreover, made a lot of ambiguous statements, especially since we have heard a lot about the CSTO,” the diplomat said.
So she paraphrased the famous phrase, “I scare the hedgehog with his bare ass.” Zakharova confirmed that the statements of the Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia, Alen Simonyan, are emotional statements TASS.
On April 1, during a meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the country’s simultaneous membership in the European Union and the Eurasian Economic Union is impossible. On April 7, Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev said that Armenia has significant competitive advantages compared to European countries and thanks to this it is developing its economy and social sphere.
