MINSK May 31
- Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev told Armenian Prime Minister
Tigran Sarkisyan at a bilateral meeting in Minsk on Friday that
Armenia's desire to integrate into the Customs Union was important for
Russia.
"Armenia wants to participate in this process, which we consider
important. We should only find a proper format for this cooperation,"
Medvedev went on to say. He suggested discussing the aforesaid issues
as well as the state of trade and economic cooperation between the two
countries.
The Armenian prime minister said in turn that Yerevan had a clear-cut
stance on integration with the Customs Union. "We have no doubts,"
Sarkisyan said. "We should start solving technical issues already now,
namely what steps we should take and in what pace we should move
forward," the Armenian premier added.
Sarkisyan said he had met Viktor Khristenko, the head of the Eurasian
Economic Commission, in Minsk earlier on Friday to discuss a
Memorandum of Integration into the Customs Union.
"We understand that we should urgently prepare this memorandum, get
the president's approval for it and sign the document," Sarkisyan went
on to say.
The Armenian prime minister also told Medvedev about his talks with
Sergei Kiriyenko, the head of the Russian State Corporation for Atomic
Energy (Rosatom) on financing the construction of a new unit of the
Armenian nuclear power station. The sides discussed the possibility
for Armenia to enter financial markets to find resources for the
station.
