UKRAINE READY TO SIGN 70 BASIC AGREEMENTS OF CUSTOMS UNION
YEREVAN, September 26. /ARKA/. Ukraine may join some 70 basic
agreements of Russia-led Customs Union (CU), Ukraine's premier
Nikolay Azarov said at his meeting with the Russian counterpart Dmitry
Medvedev. Azarov said cooperation with the CU is not an obstacle in
signing an association agreement with the EU. "I'm supporting the
idea of finding a common language and responding to real threats,
not hypothetical ones", Azarov said as quoted by rbc.ru. The premiers
expressed their concerns over the fact that turnover between Russia
and Ukraine dropped approximately by 19% in 2013. It happened because
Ukraine decided to reduce its purchases of the expensive Russian gas,
Azarov said. The premiers agreed about new dynamics and recovered
volumes of the turnover between the countries. Normalizing relations
will be discussed at a meeting of intergovernmental commission on
economy scheduled for mid October. Experts of the countries are
expected to analyze the current trade situation and to develop
measures to overcome contradictions ahead of the meeting. Earlier
Russian premier Medvedev said the regime of partnership will Russia
will be cancelled once Ukraine becomes an associated EU member. N.V.
