The diplomat noted that initialing of the Association Agreement at
this stage is impossible given the decision to join Customs Union.
Therefore, the sides should seek other platforms for cooperation.
Ambassador RaczyÅ~Dski believes the decision on Customs Union has
been economically calculated beforehand.
"I do not know what benefits Armenia will get from joining Customs
Union, but I believe tat the decision was balanced and calculated,"
he emphasized.
According to assessment of Polish experts, the Association Agreement
would have brought Armenia annual income of â~B¬150 million, he said.
Ambassador said it is better not to jump to a conclusion and wait
until Armenia joins the Customs Union. According to him, last year
GDP growth was 7%. If the next year's growth reaches 9.5%, this would
mean that joining Customs Union is profitable.
