December 26, Pozirk. <\/strong>Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has publicly refused to come to Minsk in May 2025 for a Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pashinyan has announced his decision reacting to Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka’s proposal that the EEU hold the meeting on May 29 in Minsk because of Belarus’ chairmanship of the economic bloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the EEU summit in Russia’s Leningrad province via video link today, the Armenian premier said, “I would like to say in advance that our delegation will take part in the meeting via videoconferencing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka asked, “What’s your problem? Is Minsk too far away, is there no one to take you there? We will organize the transfer for your delegation if necessary.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pashinyan replied that he had already issued a public statement on the matter, referring to his earlier refusal to visit Minsk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We will consider your request,” \u0141uka\u0161enka said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is not subject to consideration,\u201d Pashinyan retorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We will consider it. We may not have a screen for you to speak remotely,” \u0141uka\u0161enka said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No problem,” Pashinyan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Political analyst D\u017amitryj Ba\u0142kuniec noted that \u0141uka\u0161enka bristled at Pashinyan’s remarks, as his head was shaking as he spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently angered by the Belarusian ruler\u2019s tour of Nagorno-Karabakh captured by Azerbaijan, Pashinyan said on June 13 that neither he nor any other Armenian official would travel to Belarus as long as \u0141uka\u0161enka is in power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
