Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) was a wise
strategic decision, Ambassador of Russia to Armenia Ivan Volynkin told
journalists on Saturday.
"This does not mean that the doors for contacts with other countries
are closed. Russia also has contacts with the European Union. This is
quite normal for a state to build relations with different sides,"
Volynkin said.
When asked if the political processes developing in Armenia can
influence its foreign policy, the Russian Ambassador said that judging
from what the opposition parties said during their last rallies, all
of them, except one, support Armenia's accession to the EEU.
Volynkin refused to comment on the speeches made by the leaders of the
parliamentary opposition during the Friday rally. He just said that
they spoke a lot about the EEU.
