    MINSK, 19 September (BelTA) - By joining the Customs Union Armenia
    intends to considerably expand trade and economic ties. The statement
    was made by Ambassador of Armenia to Belarus Armen Khachatryan at
    the press conference held in Minsk on 19 September to highlight the
    Armenia Independence Day, BelTA has learned.

    The diplomat remarked that Armenia's declaration of intention to join
    the Customs Union had been determined by national interests.

    "Interests of Armenia have led to our decision to join the Customs
    Union and after that we are ready to take part in forming the Eurasian
    Economic Union".

    According to Armen Khachatryan, the accession of Armenia to the
    integration association will open up many opportunities and will
    enhance the effectiveness of trade and economic ties with the countries
    of this organization. The Ambassador underlined that Armenia has
    long-standing economic relations with Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia
    and these relations will grow in the future.

    Talking about the advantages Armenia can get by joining the Customs
    Union, the Ambassador underlined that the free flow of commodities was
    at the forefront. For instance, at present Armenia has to deal with
    quotas to sell some of its products. Once part of the Customs Union
    Armenia will not face the problem anymore. The Ambassador stated that
    Armenia's accession to the Customs Union does not mean the country
    will scrap cooperation with the European Union. "We are not rejecting
    cooperation with the European Union. The European Union has a lot to
    teach us and we are ready to do it," noted the diplomat.
