The policy of Armenia, which declares its intention to join the European Union while simultaneously utilizing the opportunities of the EAEU, is cynical, stated Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

“I would like Armenia not to pursue a dishonest policy, because if Armenia passes a law on its intentions to join the European Union, then why are you using the resources of the EAEU? Why are you deceiving its members? It is cynical, it is wrong. Just say it: are you going to the European Union? Go. But then you do not need to receive preferences here,” Volodin said in an interview with “Vesti”.
