Presidents Vladimir Putin (Russia), Nursultan Nazarbayev (Kazakhstan)
and Alexander Lukashenko (Belarus) will meet at the session of the
Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Moscow today. They will discuss
formation of the Eurasian Economic Union, planned to be formed on
January 1, 2015, and road maps of Armenia and Kyrgyzstan to join the
Customs Union.
Armenian and Kyrgyz Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Almazbek Atambayev,
Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov will join the talks and sign
a road map for stages of mutual integration.
Andrey Smirnov, Vice President of the Foundation for Development of
Eurasian Cooperation, expressed confidence that a road map will be
signed with Armenia. He said that the working group headed by Armenian
Deputy Minister for Economy Karine Minasyan had visited Moscow twice
in early December.
The expert noted that Kyrgyzstan had very good chances to sign a road
map, which may be signed together with that of Armenia.
Smirnov clarified that presence of the Ukrainian PM as an observer
meant that Ukraine did not want to integrate in the Customs Union. On
the other hand, participation of such high-ranking politician meant
that Ukraine was ready for rapprochement with the three members of
the Customs Union.
