YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 23, ARMENPRESS. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aide Yuri Ushakov has said that Moscow expects Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s participation in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) summits scheduled to take place in Saint Petersburg in December.

 "I think they [Armenian delegation] will come to Saint Petersburg, where the traditional informal CIS summit will take place, and also the official EAEU meeting. By the way, at this meeting the chairmanship [of EAEU] will pass from us to Armenia, thus I believe that Pashinyan will arrive to accept the chairmanship from President Putin,” TASS quoted Ushakov as saying.
