TREATY ON ARMENIA'S ACCESSION TO EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION RATIFIED BY STATE DUMA
13:55, 10 Dec 2014
The lower house of Russia's parliament (the State Duma) has ratified
the treaty on Armenia's joining the Eurasian Economic Union.
Armenia will become a member of the union after all the ratification
procedures in member countries (Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan)
are completed, but no earlier than January 1, 2015.
"Armenia has shown the maximum will to go the Eurasian way of
development. It is a historic decision for the formation of the EEU,"
the head of the Russian Duma committee for CIS affairs, Leonid Slutsky,
told TASS earlier Wednesday.
The heads of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia signed the
agreement on the EEU in October this year. Armenia in September
2013 declared plans to join the Customs Union and participate in the
EEU formation.
The Eurasian Economic Union is being formed as an interstate Eurasian
integration organization based on the Customs Union, which is open
for other states to join.
