YEREVAN. - The Customs Union is meaningless for Armenia, PM Tigran
Sargsyan said responding to the question whether Armenia is ready to
become a full member of EurAzEC and join the customs union or even
the common economic space.
"Armenia is interested in deepening and strengthening relations with
EurAzEC. The state is the most active member of the CIS and offers
efforts for EurAzEC development, despite it is just an observer,"
Sargsyan said in an interview with Kommersant newspaper.
"The aim of the Customs Union is to carry out goods' exchange without
customs control. In case of Armenia, we have to cross the territory
of our neighboring state [Georgia] twice and pass customs clearance
twice. And it is economically inefficient. In this case taxes and
customs duties would have increase," Sargsyan concluded.
