Pashinyan emphasized that Armenia has contributed more to the EAEU’s common budget than it has received. “This is direct evidence of our responsible approach to our obligations within the EAEU,” Pashinyan said. “In 2025, Armenia contributed approximately $319 million to the EAEU’s common customs budget, while the total amount allocated to Armenia was approximately $170 million. Thus, Armenia contributed more to the EAEU’s common budget than it received,” the prime minister said. According to the prime minister, Armenia has taken note of statements by four EAEU member states regarding the possibility of holding a referendum on joining the EU.
