The research. Our analysis allowed to identify the most promising commodity groups in terms of expanding export opportunities, which include: &amp;quot;pharmaceutical products&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages&amp;quot;, clothing and leather goods, as well as &amp;quot;precious and semiprecious stones and metals.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;

Result. Among the positive characteristics, the availability of mainly non-primary industrial goods in the structure of Armenian exports to these countries was highlighted, which critically distinguishes the trade relations of the Republic of Armenia within the framework of Eurasian integration in comparison with trade flows from Armenia to the countries of the European Union. As a negative point, attention should be paid to the insufficient degree of diversification of trade flows between the RA and &amp;quot;small&amp;quot; countries of the EEU.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Significance.
