The EAEU is a Russia-led economic bloc comprising Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia. Ousting Armenia? Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov suggested that Putin would discuss Armenia’s membership in the bloc during the summit. “Putin has repeatedly stressed that it is impossible to belong to two associations simultaneously. It simply will not work,” Ushakov said at a press briefing, according to AFP. Ushakov’s comments echoed Putin’s earlier remarks, in which he said Yerevan must choose between Moscow-led economic structures and the EU, invoking a “Ukrainian scenario” when commenting on Armenia’s EU bid. Ushakov said while it is “impossible” to expel a member state from the bloc, a country could declare it was ending its “cooperation.” Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan previously said he would skip the summit, sending Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan instead in his place. Russia’s remarks came ahead of Yerevan’s June 7 elections, as Pashinyan is set to face off against the pro-Russian opposition amid Yerevan’s push for closer Western integration.
