MINASYAN: RUSSIA UNLIKELY TO INSIST ON RESIGNATION OF ARMENIA'S EUROPE-LEANING PRIME MINISTER
YEREVAN, September 4. /ARKA/.Sergey Minasyan, the head of a division
of the Institute of CIS Countries, commenting today on the rumors
going around that Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, who is
known for its bent for Europe and repeated objections to the idea of
Armenia's membership in the Customs Union, will be dismissed under
pressure from the Russian side, said he didn't think so.
"Armenia has responded to Russia's wishes, and Russia, on its side,
taking this fact into account, has made good proposals to Armenia,"
he said answering ARKA News Agency's question. "The two presidents
met in compromising, not confrontational atmosphere, and I don't
think something like that will happen."
Armenia's president Sezrh Sargsyan said Tuesday after talks
with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Moscow that Yerevan
had decided to join the Customs Union of Russia, Kazakhstan and
Belarus, as well as the proposed Eurasian Economic Union strongly
promoted by Russian President Vladimir Putin. ---0--- - See more at:
