MEMBERSHIP IN ANY ECONOMIC UNION IMPLIES CERTAIN LOSS OF SOVEREIGNTY - RUSSIAN ENVOY
21:10 ~U 19.09.13
Any country joining an international economic union partially concedes
its sovereignty to a supranational body, the Russian ambassador to
Armenia has said.
"That's natural; there's nothing criminal, horrific or tragic about
it. By acceding to the Customs Union, Armenia is not fully losing
its sovereignty. If problems need a collective solution, there has
to be a collective body to offer such a solution," Ivan Volynkin told
a news conference on Thursday.
The diplomat said he hails Armenia's decision to join the Eurasian
Customs Union. "That's a good step, a right step in the right
direction."
The ambassador said Armenia will become a full-fledge member of the
union after completing all the necessary procedures. But he did not
specify any timeframes.
