Speaking in Moscow after Victory Day events, Putin said Yerevan should decide its geopolitical course quickly and let Russia, Armenia's main economic partner, draw conclusions.
He said the issue could be discussed at a future Eurasian Economic Union summit and suggested any split be handled through a soft, intelligent and mutually beneficial separation.
