ABSTRACT

The European Union (EU)-Armenia relations were to advance further with the negotiation of an Association Agreement promising closer political and economic ties with the Union. The European integration course, however, came to an abrupt end when the national government announced its withdrawal from the project in September 2013 prior to the Eastern Partnership Vilnius summit where the agreement was to be initialled. Armenia offers an unprecedented example of (dis-)integration with the EU under the European Neighbourhood Policy/Eastern Partnership. The precarious political and economic situation of Armenia led to its coerced accession to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Despite their decision to join the Eurasian project, since 2013 Armenian authorities have attempted to maintain the links with the EU. The Court comes to a conclusion that the EAEU legal framework is compliant with precise constitutional requirements rendering it constitutionally valid in Armenia.
