ARMENIA'S ACCESSION TO CUSTOMS UNION WILL TAKE TIME - LUKASHENKO
Interfax, Russia
Oct 21 2013
"It can't enter the Customs Union tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or
this year, or maybe even next year," Lukashenko said while meeting with
heads of mass media organizations of CIS countries in Minsk on Monday.
Lukashenko said that "Armenia will only enter the Customs Union
after it fulfils all of the procedures and adopts regulations and
appropriate agreements."
"It has to go though the accession process," Lukashenko said, adding
that "it will take some time."
The issue may be raised in the upcoming summit in Minsk, Lukashenko
said, adding that he does not rule out the appearance of "some document
about Armenia's intention to join the Customs Union."
"We should all sit down and discuss where Armenia sees itself, either
in the Customs Union, or in the EU," Lukashenko said. He reiterated
that "Armenia can only show itself and us the vectors of where it wants
to go. Either the EU or the Customs Union" in the meeting in Minsk.
Lukashenko said, citing negotiations with Armenian officials, that
"a lot of things are still uncertain in Armenian-European dialogue."
