This situation is convenient for negotiating with Azerbaijan because
if Armenia joins the Eurasian Economic Union, there will be less
instruments for negotiating with Azerbaijan," political scientist
Aghasi Yenokyan told 168 Hours, commenting on the delay in Armenia's
accession to EaEU.
The analyst named several possible reasons for the delay, noting that
Armenia is not so interesting for EaEU and that is why its members are
in no hurry in that matter.
According to Yerevan Press Club chairman Boris Navasardyan, there are
several obstacles in Armenia's EaEU accession process: Armenia's
membership in WTO, the issue of Azerbaijan's membership, and the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Political scientist Sergey Minasyan believes that the main reason for
the delay is that there are serious disagreements among the three
founding member states of EaEU and the "trio" uses the issue of
Armenia's membership as a lever of influence on each other.
