Pakistan Plans to Recognize Armenia as a UN Member State: What Does It Require in Return?

Pakistan intends to recognize Armenia as a UN member state, in exchange for receiving the "green light" to join the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). This was stated by a UN source to TASS.

"Pakistan is indeed planning to do this, and as a reciprocal step, it seeks consensus on the issue of joining the EAEU," said one of the UN sources from the agency.

Another diplomatic source noted that the corresponding procedures could take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. He described this as a predictable outlook, adding that the peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan has left no obstacles in this matter.

Recall that on August 31, the foreign ministers of Armenia and Pakistan signed a communiqué in China to establish diplomatic relations.
