YEREVAN, October 27. /ARKA/. The idea of establishment of a Eurasian
union is quite promising for Armenia, especially in economic
cooperation area, Artak Zakaryan, an MP from the ruling Republican
Party of Armenia, said Thursday at a news conference.
In early October, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in its article
written for Izvestiya newspaper that Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan's
Customs Union that is being established now and the common economic
space will constitute a basis for Eurasian Union, which won't be a new
Soviet Union or substitute to CIS, but will be a link between Europe
and Asia and Pacific region with close coordination of economic and
monetary policy.
Responding to those people who fear that Armenia's participation
in these projects might affect its activity within the European
Union's new neighborhood policy and Eastern Partnership Program, the
lawmaker stressed that Armenia is singled out for its multiple-view
and balanced foreign policy, which, unlike other country's policies,
has never been built on controversies.
"Armenia, taking into account its geographical location, the blockage,
conflict, problems with energy import and the necessity to ensure
security, is always seeking any cooperation," he said.
