Pakistan intends to recognize Armenia as a member state of the United Nations, in exchange for which it will receive the opportunity to join the Eurasian Economic Union, TASS reports, citing its sources.
“Pakistan really plans to do this, and as a reciprocal step, it expects to receive an agreement on joining the Eurasian Economic Union,” said one of the agency’s interlocutors at the UN.
Another diplomatic source noted that the relevant procedures could take weeks to months. “In any case, this is a realistic prospect,” he added.
The interlocutor also emphasized that the peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan has removed the obstacles.
Yesterday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Russia welcomes restoring ties between Armenia and Pakistan, describing it as a “step forward.”
