Lavrov Says Armenia Must Choose Between EU and Eurasian Economic Union

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says Armenia must choose between pursuing closer ties with the European Union and remaining aligned with the Eurasian Economic Union. His comments reflect growing tensions over Yerevan’s foreign-policy direction and its relationship with Moscow. Armenia has sought deeper engagement with European institutions while maintaining important economic and security connections to Russia. The decision could affect trade, regional alliances, and Armenia’s broader diplomatic position as it balances competing partnerships amid continuing uncertainty in the South Caucasus.
