Yerevan has responded to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's controversial remarks about how Armenia "can't escape" a union state with Russia and Belarus.

"Armenia can't escape it. You think anyone needs them? They have already seen it," Lukashenko said in an interview with Russian journalist Vladimir Solovyov.

The Armenian Foreign Ministry noted in its response that "such a unique geopolitical analysis" of the President of Belarus is primarily aimed at serving his own domestic political agenda and have nothing to do with Armenia and her foreign policy.

The Union State is a supranational organization consisting of Russia and Belarus, "with the stated aim of deepening the relationship between the two states through integration in economic and defense policy."
