ArmInfo. The Armenian foreign ministry has reacted to a report by the Russian TASS state news agency which claimed, citing an anonymous source, that Pakistan 'intends to recognize Armenia as a UN member state and subsequently be greenlighted to become a member of the Eurasian Economic Union [EAEU]."
"We inform the ignorant sources that Armenia and Pakistan have already established diplomatic relations in line with the fundamental principles of the UN Charter. Therefore, naturally there is no any issue of 'recognition in the UN' on the agenda. We have already communicated that the two countries, while developing bilateral cooperation, will also discuss issues related to collaboration within multilateral platforms - whether it be the SCO, the EAEU, or other structures of mutual interest," Armenian foreign ministry spokesperson Ani Badalyan said in response to query by Armenpress.
On August 31, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Mohammad Ishaq Dar signed a Joint Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic relations between Armenia and Pakistan.
