    Armenia's interest in joining European structures contradicts the
    goals of the country to achieve a free-trade agreement within the
    CIS space. On the one side Armenia is trying to improve its economic
    cooperation with European countries, but on the other side, it is
    trying to do same with its strategic partner Russia and other CIS
    countries. Some MPs are concerned that free trade with CIS countries
    might create barriers for the country to improve its economic
    relations with the EU system. Armenia's PM Tigran Sargsyan, thinks
    that his country's economic cooperation with CIS countries does not
    contradict its commitments to the WTO and does not hinder Armenia's
    Euro-integration process. However, some political figures challenge
    this confidence and demand that government bodies bring more convincing
    arguments- why should Armenia join the CIS free-trade zone which
    eventually could hinder the country's integration into the EU system?
