Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that "the sanctions will have an obvious impact on the economic climate in the Eurasian region.”

Pashinyan stated this during the meeting with the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and the heads of the EAEU governments in Nur-Sultan, Armenian government’s press service said.

“We are in a sensitive period, in geopolitically sensitive tectonic processes. Of course, it is clear that sanctions will have an obvious impact on the economic climate in the Eurasian region, and we must discuss what operative decisions are necessary to be made to minimize these negative effects and, if possible, bypass them by taking appropriate steps,” the Armenian PM said.

Pashinyan also stressed the existence of potential to expand the Eurasian economic region.

“There are observer states with which we cooperate quite effectively. There is also certain interest from other countries in strengthening ties with the Eurasian Economic Union,” the PM said.
