As soon as Armenia joins the Customs Union, 30% of the Russian gas
tariff for the country will be subsidized, Director of the New York
based Institute for Democracy and Cooperation Andranik Mihranyan
said during a meeting with professors of Armenian State Pedagogical
University on Tuesday.
Concerning the suspension of the association negotiations with
the European Union, Mihranyan said that Armenian goods are not
competitive on the European market, so, the Association Agreement
will give Armenia no economic benefits.
"The decision to join the Customs Union will not close the door into
Europe for Armenia. On the contrary, it will turn the country into a
strong player and an equal negotiator with any European country. So,
this was a double victory for the Armenian diplomacy," Mihranyan said.
