YEREVAN, OCTOBER 26, ARMENPRESS: After the statement of the President
of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan on the
decision to join the Customs Union made on September 3 the foreign
policy processes of the country have considerably changed.
Armenpress reports that at the press conference held on October 26 the
President of the European Integration NGO Karen Bekaryan
stated that if Armenia does not want to have problems with the foreign
policy in the EU direction, the country should reconfirm its
position concerning the signing of the documents during the Vilnius
summit in the end of November.
According to the President of the European Integration NGO, the
negotiations process on the Association Agreement held with the
European Union for three years cannot be thrown into the `trash'.
`The Vilnius summit might not be considered as the last destination
for Armenia in the relations with the European Union', - emphasized
Bekaryan, adding that after the summit the life will continue and our
foreign policy will appear in a new pragmatic field.
In the result of the negotiations on September 3, 2013 in Moscow the
Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin confirmed the
aim of the Republic of Armenia and the Russian Federation in the
direction of further development of economic integration processes in
the
Eurasian territory. In that context the President of the Republic of
Armenia Serzh Sargsyan announced about the Armenia's decision to join
the Customs Union and the necessity of implementation corresponding
steps for that aim and in future about participating in formation of
the Eurasian economic union. The President of the Russian Federation
Vladimir Putin expressed his support to the abovementioned decision
of Armenia and informed about the readiness of the Russian side to
support the process. Serzh Sargsyan noted that this decision is not
refusal from dialogue with European organizations.
Earlier it was intended that Yerevan will sign the Association and
Free Trade Zone Agreement with the European Union in Vilnius. The
Eastern Partnership summit will be held on November 28-29 in Vilnius,
during which the signing (or pre-signing) of the Association
Agreement with some Eastern Partnership countries is expected.
