The format of military-political and economic union with Russia is
convenient for ensuring the multi-level security of Armenia given the
current regional and global threats, Dmitry Polikanov, Vice President
of the Russia-based PIR Center for International Studies, said at an
online press conference when replying to ArmInfo's question.
"Armenia has always been an example of balanced policy. It has always
found solutions in the relations with Russia and the West, following
its national interests. It is clear that the accession to the Eurasian
Economic Union is a logical step, which has arisen from the CSTO
membership and long-term allied relations with Moscow", he said.
Polikanov is convinced that Yerevan will take no steps by Moscow's
instruction as a result of Armenia's accession to the EAEU. In this
light, he pointed at the EAEU experience, which demonstrates that
both Belarus and Kazakhstan have a lot of possibilities and levers to
promote an interesting agenda. "I suppose Armenia will also have new
opportunities to ensure its security - both economic and military",
said Polikanov.
