PanARMENIAN.Net - Heritage opposition party stands against Armenia's
joining the Eurasian Union, seeing the country's future in cooperation
with Europe, Heritage parliamentary group leader said.
As Stepan Safaryan stressed during foreign policy forum, "Yerevan
must adhere to the course of European integration with the country's
Eurasian Union bid rendering Armenia-EU Association Agreement
impossible."
As Safaryan noted, Heritage spoke against extension of Russian
military base deployment in Armenia to promote Armenia's European
integration course.
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 forum was organized by the Armenian Center of Political and
International Studies with the assistance of U.S. National Democratic
Institute.
