Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said Monday that Yerevan does not plan to hold a referendum on whether to remain in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) or pursue European Union membership.

“We will hold a referendum at the moment when there is an objective need for it. My assessment is that there is simply no such objective necessity,” Pashinyan said, according to state news agency Armenpress.

His remarks followed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s suggestion Saturday that Armenia consider a referendum on its geopolitical alignment. Putin said Moscow would accept a “gentle, intelligent and mutually beneficial divorce” if Yerevan chose closer ties with the EU.
