18:13, 5 December, 2012
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 5, ARMENPRESS: Armenia doesn't consider integration
processes in frames of EU, CIS and Eurasia to be opposed to each
other. As reports Armenpress this was Tigran Sargsyan's response to the
question of NA deputy Khachatur Kokobelyan, noting that the processes
are complementing each other. "We have signed a CIS agreement on free
trade, which provides Armenian business entities with an opportunity
to freely perform transactions in CIS region. But this does not prevent
the official negotiation process with EU because we are negotiating on
the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement," Prime Minister said.
Tigran Sargsyan has noted that there are already two completed stages
of negotiations and Armenia's goal is to complete all six stages
during next year.
Armenian Prime Minister believes that there is a need for cooperation
and negotiation in frames of Eurasian Union. "We have signed an
agreement with our strategic partner Russia concerning the resolution
of bilateral relations. One of the highlighted points is to have
a direct connection with Customs Union, because Russian Federation,
Kazakhstan and Belarus have given up a significant part of their powers
to the Customs Union and Eurasian Commission, which means, that we
have to deepen relations with Customs Union," Prime Minister said.
