“If the price of Russian gas increases, [Armenia] will leave the CSTO and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU),” Armenian Parliament Speaker Alen Simonyan said at a briefing for journalists, APA reports.
“I should note that if such a decision is made [ed. to increase gas prices], the Republic of Armenia will make its own decision and will completely withdraw not only from the CSTO, but also from the EAEU and other structures,” Simonyan emphasized.
Nevertheless, the Armenian Parliament Speaker believes the situation will not reach that point:
“I know that there has been a very good, businesslike and productive conversation between the country’s leaders.”
