Vice speaker of Armenia's National Assembly Heghmine Naghdalyan,
member of Armenia-Russia inter-parliamentary commission Nikolay Rizhkov
summed up today to the reporters the 23d sitting of NA's and Russian
Federal Council.
Hermine Naghdalyan said the sitting is dedicated to the transport
communication issue between Armenia and Russia.
Rizhkov stressed the importance of the issue as Armenia is in blockade.
"Armenia's blockade is a serious issue and such meetings and
discussions will continue until we help Armenia to get out of the
blockade," he said.
Referring to Armenia's entrance to the Customs Union Rizhkov said that
though Armenia is not member of the Customs Union, the two parties
seem to be ready to sign the agreement.
"You must not lose your strategic partner on behalf of Russia and we
must not lose you," he said, stressing that the Association Agreement
with the EU would have forward restrictions.
He stressed that currently Ukraine is striving to sign the Association
Agreement. "Of course there are many issues in case of Customs Union as
well but all this issues are easy to solve, just a political decision
is necessary," he said.
