Armenia mulls joining Russia-led trading bloc
Many Armenians worry membership of the Eurasian Economic Custom Union
would lead to higher prices for European imports.
The government of Armenia is considering joining the Russia-backed
trading bloc, the Eurasian Economic Custom Union, leaving many
Armenians worried over possible price rices.
If it does join the bloc - which currently includes Russia,
Kazakhstan, and Belarus - Armenia said it would continue to allow
imports from the US and the EU.
The country's largest trading partner is the EU, but Armenia backed
out of talks to join the union last year.
