No proposal for Armenia's joining the Eurasian Union was made during
my meeting with Chairman of the Eurasian Economic Commission Viktor
Khristenko, Armenia's Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan told journalists
on Wednesday.
The Premier evaded the question: what was the priority for Armenia -
the European Union or the Eurasian Union?
When asked a similar question by MP Khachatur Kokobelyan earlier in
the day, Sargsyan said that for many years already Armenia has been
negotiating with the European Union for association membership,
but active cooperation with the Eurasian Union is also among its
priorities. "There are certain bilateral issues the countries
integrating into the Eurasian Union prefer to discuss only within
that organization. So, Armenia will actively work in this format,"
the Premier said.
