BOCHAROV RUCHEY (SOCHI), August 10 (RIA Novosti) - The settlement of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will not affect Armenia's accession to
the Customs Union, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Sunday.
"Armenia is joining the Customs Union as Armenia. Nagorno-Karabakh has
absolutely nothing to do with this issue, which has been repeatedly
and publically announced by Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan," Lavrov
told journalists.
Earlier on Sunday, Russia's southern resort city of Sochi hosted a
trilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his
Armenian and Azeri colleagues Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev. During
the meeting the sides discussed recent tensions along the contact line
of Nagorno-Karabakh with Azerbaijan which led to casualties on the
both sides.
Following the negotiations President Putin said that the two leaders
had good will to find a peaceful solution to the conflict.
Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan signed the Eurasian Economic Union
(EAU) Treaty on May 29, which is to enter into force on January 1. The
creation of the Union paves the way for a new higher level of
integration between the member countries of the Customs Union, which
was formed by the three countries in 2010 and serves as the basis for
the Eurasian Union.
The EAU would create a single economic market of 170 million people,
potentially a new powerful center of economic development.
Armenian Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan announced last month that the
country would sign a treaty on its accession to the EAU by the end of
October.
