Report on possible consequences of suspending Armenia's EAEU membership sent to Tokayev

Members of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan have prepared a report on the possible consequences of suspending Armenia's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), according to the Russian government's press service. NUR.KZ reports that the report was sent to Kazakh President Kasym-Jomart Tokayev and the other heads of EAEU member states.

The report was prepared under a joint statement by the presidents of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia dated 29 May 2026. It covers measures Armenia has taken to join the European Union, an analysis of compatibility between EAEU and EU legal regimes, and legal mechanisms meant to prevent risks arising from Armenia's decision to join the EU. It also includes assessments of the possible consequences of suspending Armenia's membership.

The report will be delivered to Vladimir Putin, Alexander Lukashenko, Tokayev, Sadyr Japarov and Nikol Pashinyan. According to the document, Armenia's status in the EAEU raises questions in light of its steps toward EU accession, and the introduction of 'European standards' by Armenia threatens to undermine the unity of the EAEU customs space.
