Armenia at the Astana summit
Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan seemed to be in a good mood at the event: "I think the deputy prime minister was positive. He is a down-to-earth, intelligent man who really knows what’s going on."
The Armenian side did not request a separate meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin concerning its participation in the EAEU on the sidelines of the Astana summit: "No, no separate discussion was planned, neither was it requested."
