The controversy surrounding the EAEU will end in a rhetorical storm: political scientist Sergey Stankevich commented to "Alpha News" on the consequences of Armenia's possible exit from the Eurasian Economic Union, as well as on Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's response to the report on Armenia's commercial and economic relations with the EU countries. According to the political scientist, the current prices in Armenia are largely due to the trade with the EAEU countries and the economic benefits of the membership in the association. Stankiewicz believes that leaving the EAEU will lead to the loss of these benefits and a shift to market prices. "Armenia, thank God, is not leaving the EAEU. And I think that now Armenian citizens and voters will simply not forgive Nikola Pashinyan for this kind of departure. In that report, which he is so bitterly offended by, he only says the following: he points out the fact that the current prices in Armenia, which are based on the trade cycle with the EAEU countries, are actually subsidized, that is, they are preferential prices. And if Armenia leaves the club, then it loses the privileges of a club member, and the prices simply become market prices. No one is going to announce any sanctions on Armenia, introduce Trump style duties of 500% on sales to Armenia and purchases from Armenia. There is no such thing, no extortion by any restrictive means. Only while you are in the club you enjoy the privileges of the club. If you leave, you lose your privileges. this is. The report just reminded us of that. With numbers and facts," Stankevich said. In his opinion, the current discussion will not lead to the country's exit from the EAEU, and Russia and Armenia will remain within the framework of existing relations. "The fact that Pashinyan simply interpreted the account as destabilizing for Armenia shows that in general he is very bad at arguments, because if an account is destabilizing, then where to go?
