Armenia might become a member of the Customs Union which incorporates
Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, given its political will and readiness
of the other countries, Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin declared at a
meeting with representatives of the Armenian scientific circles held
at the Armenian Academy of Sciences on Tuesday.
The Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia is open for other
CIS to join given their political will, and it will be enlarged,
depending on an extent of readiness of the other countries, Naryshkin
said. Armenia, which already has a status of the EurAsEC observer,
is one of such countries, Naryshkin said.
We are aware of the fact what attention the Armenian scientific and
political circles pay to Armenia's possible joining the process of
the EurAsian economic integration, the speaker said. He reminded
of a first supra-national body of the Customs Union - the EurAsian
economic commission, which began its work in 2012. On Naryshkin's
initiative a working group was set up for parliamentary evaluation
of the EurAsian economic integration.
"A new competitive regional alliance which meets the requirements of
the global market is being formed in the world," Naryshkin concluded.
