How would Armenia's trade relationships change if it shifted its focus from the EAEU to the EU?

Armenia's significant trade with the EAEU ($12.7 billion in 2024) dwarfs its trade with the EU ($2.3 billion). Switching trade partners would be difficult, given stringent EU requirements and limited demand for Armenian goods in European markets. The necessity of restructuring standards to meet EU regulations also poses a significant hurdle for Armenian industries.
