    ARMENIA LOOKING AT JOINING EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION - RUSSIAN SPEAKER

    Armenia is looking at joining the Eurasian Economic Union, speaker
    of the Russian State Duma lower parliament house Sergei Naryshkin,
    who is ending his Armenian visit, said on Tuesday.

    According to the Russian speaker, subjects of Eurasian integrations
    were raised at his talks with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and
    Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisyan. "The Armenian leaders are closely
    watching the development of the Eurasian project and are set to find
    Armenia's place in it," Naryshkin said.

    The Eurasian project, Naryshkin noted, already now is bringing about
    positive results. Thus, in 2011 alone, mutual trade between the
    three member countries of the Customs Union, i.e. Russia, Belarus,
    and Kazakhstan, went up by 30 percent as compared with 2010.

    After his talks with the Armenian leaders, the speaker of the Russian
    State Duma reiterated that Armenia's authorized agencies are working
    out documents related to the ratification of the free trade zone
    agreement in the Commonwelath of Independent States. "We hope it will
    be ratified this fall," Naryshkin added.
