YEREVAN, May 20. /ARKA/. There are no objections in Armenia to signing
a free trade zone agreement with CIS member countries, Armenian Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan said Thursday after a CIS prime-ministerial
meeting in Minsk, Belarus, the Armenian government's press office
reports.
This draft agreement was the most important issue at this session.
It was chosen as a basis, since its ideology was acceptable to all
governments, but issues related to customs duties and restrictions
are waiting for further discussion.
Vice-premiers will meet as well to give a final approval to the
document.
"We are ready to sign this agreement just now, but taking into account
that approval of the document will be based on consensus, a group of
countries proposed to discuss it once again and sign it at the next
meeting in Saint Petersburg," the press office quoted Sargsyan as
saying.
