ARMENIA BETTER KNOWN AT CUSTOMS UNION MARKETS - EXPERT
July 09, 2013 | 13:17
YEREVAN. - Armenia is better known at the market of Customs Union than
in Europe, political analyst Alexander Markarov said.
He believes this is an important factor in favor of Customs Union,
stressing that Armenia has a wide background of bilateral treaties
with the members of joint customs union or the countries striving to
join it.
"In this context, the choice between European and Eurasian markets
is out of the question," Markarov said during the Tuesday press
conference.
On the other hand, with further European integration Armenia's joining
the Customs Union can become not complicated, but impossible. However,
this way suggests more beneficial prospects for Armenia, Markarov
added.
"In this term, we will bring closer our legislative, economic and
social behavior to the European standards," he added.
However, the expert pointed at security factor, adding that neither
NATO nor any other force will provide Armenia with security guarantees
offered by Russia.
