YEREVAN. - The views, according to which accession to the Customs
Union will undermine the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh (NK)
conflict, are unfounded.
Armenian National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan told the above-said
to Armenian News-NEWS.am.
"Regardless of all this, one thing is clear: The security and the
economic development of the Republic of Armenia are a priority and the
most important for us. And they are closely linked to the security of
Artsakh [i.e., Nagorno-Karabakh] and the settlement of the NK conflict.
"Membership in the Customs Union should be regarded as the most
important fundamental step in this framework. Hence, the opinions and
the views, according to which membership in the Customs Union will
undermine the settlement of the NK conflict, [and] the statehood and
sovereignty of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, are unfounded, to put
it mildly," Abrahamyan stated in particular.
To note, following the talks that were held on September 3 in Moscow
between Armenian and Russian Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir
Putin, Sargsyan had announced that Armenia plans to join the Customs
Union and subsequently engage in the formation of the Eurasian
Economic Union.
