Artur Khachatryan, the secretary of the Parliament of Armenia, said that Armenia's withdrawal from the EAEU will lead to serious economic consequences at least in the short and medium term. In his opinion, the strengthening of the anti-Russian rhetoric of the authorities and the statements of the Minister of Economy Grohg Papoyan during a debate on the budget for 2027 indicate that leaving the EAEU is becoming a real opportunity. Khatrian believes that the authorities are trying to lower the economic benefits of the companies in the union in order to reduce the possible negative reaction of the company.
