No pressure placed on Armenia for speedy CU accession - president
YEREVAN, August 25. /ARKA/. The allegations that Armenia has been
under pressure to join the Customs Union at a breathtaking pace are
not true, Sargsyan said at his meeting with young reporters at
Baze-2014 youth gathering in Tsakhkadzor on Sunday.
The entire accession process is the outcome of Armenia's actions, but
not someone else's wishes or requests, the president said.
"It is an important period for development of our country. A lot will
change in the country. I have no problems - either with those
criticizing me or the ones making every effort to support this idea
(of accession to the Customs Union - edit.). Time will show and people
will see who was right", the president said.
Sargsyan somehow agreed that not all CU member-countries may be happy
about Armenia's accession.
"We are a small country, a country with problems, and, naturally, our
accession may create problems also for the member-countries", Sargsyan
said. Yet, they could have vetoed Armenia's accession if they were
against, the president said.
The Russian government approved the agreement on Armenia's accession
to the Eurasian Economic Union and submitted it for president's
approval on August 14. The agreement was developed by the Eurasian
Economic Commission in cooperation with the authorities of Russia,
Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia. -0--
