Russia’s Ambassador to Armenia, Sergey Kopyrkin, has resumed his duties after a short recall to Moscow for consultations, according to Russian state media citing the Foreign Ministry.
“Following consultations, Ambassador Kopyrkin has returned to Yerevan and resumed his duties. He will host a reception on the occasion of Russia Day,” according to the ministry, The Caspian Post reports, citing Armenpress.
Russia recalled Kopyrkin to Moscow on May 30 for consultations over Armenia’s moves toward EU integration, which Moscow says could undermine cooperation within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
Armenia’s leadership has repeatedly rejected Moscow’s concerns regarding its ties with the EU, saying that closer relations with the bloc do not, for now, contradict the country’s EAEU membership.
