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.
