I think Kazakhstan chairs the meeting in July, but in any event, isn't Armenia a bit of a Trojan horse within the camp? And what damage could it do if it is either by reporting back to its masters or undermining agreements reached with the other members?

The Empire is trying to wriggle its way into every Global South nation. Russia's policy is not to dictate how a nation is to behave but it does warn it of possible consequences. IMO, all the stans know who their economic benefactors are and that's China and Russia. All stans have a role to play in Eurasian development and they understand that and are willing. Turkmenistan is the only one that's declared neutrality and it trying to stay that way, although it too knows where its bread is buttered. Creating the means to avoid second and tertiary illegal sanctions will solve many issues since those possibilities are what have nations spooked.
The two thorns are Moldova and Armenia, but for different reasons. Moldova's by far the more worrisome. Armenians know their economy is great because of EAEU membership, and they see what's happening to the EU. We closely watch because that's what's required.
