No proposal for Armenia's joining Eurasian Union was made during my meeting with Chairman of Eurasian Economic Commission

Yerevan, December 5. ArmInfo.

No proposal for Armenia's joining the Eurasian Union was made during my meeting with Chairman of the Eurasian Economic Commission Viktor Khristenko, Armenia's Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan told journalists on Wednesday.

The Premier evaded the question: what was the priority for Armenia - the European Union or the Eurasian Union?

When asked a similar question by MP Khachatur Kokobelyan earlier in the day, Sargsyan said that for many years already Armenia has been negotiating with the European Union for association membership, but active cooperation with the Eurasian Union is also among its priorities. "There are certain bilateral issues the countries integrating into the Eurasian Union prefer to discuss only within that organization. So, Armenia will actively work in this format," the Premier said.

Luhansk the first Ukrainian region fully occupied by Russia

A Russia-appointed official in Ukraine’s occupied Luhansk region was quoted by AP on Monday saying that Moscow’s forces have overrun all of it, one of four regions Russia annexed from Ukraine in September 2022. If confirmed, it would make Luhansk the first Ukrainian region fully occupied by Russia after more than three years of war with international peace efforts led by the US failing to make progress on halting the fighting. Russian President Vladimir Putin has effectively rejected a ceasefire and hasn’t budged from his demands, which include Moscow’s control over the four illegally annexed regions.
