PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia always stands for integration processes if
they contribute to larger flows of economic resources to the country
and opening of new markets, member of ruling Republican Party of
Armenia (RPA) said.
"We have never opposed to integration processes. Nor have we opposed
Western, Eastern, European and Eurasian organizations," Artak Zakaryan
told a political debate.
Zakaryan noted that Eurasian Union will be founded on the basis of the
Customs Union, non-alignment to which Armenia has officially declared.
He also noted it too early to talk about Armenia's joining the
Eurasian Union.
On November 18, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan have signed a decree to
set up a joint body to oversee and regulate the economy and trade in
the three former Soviet countries. The Eurasian Economic Commission
will be set up in January to regulate and to gradually take over
functions in shaping and executing trade and economic policies from
Russian, Belarusian and Kazakh authorities in a way similar to the
economic bodies of the European Union.
The debate was organized by Armenian Center of Political and
International Studies jointly with National Democratic Institute (NDI).
