ARMENIA'S MEMBERSHIP IN EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION TO STRENGTHEN ITS SOVEREIGNTY AND SPUR ITS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
YEREVAN, December 10. /ARKA/. Armenia's membership in the Eurasian
Economic Union will strengthen its sovereignty and spur its economic
development, Hayk Babukhanyan, an MP from the Republican Party of
Armenia, told journalists on Wednesday. On December 4, the Armenian
National Assembly ratified the agreement on Armenia's accession to the
Eurasian Economic Union. It means Armenia, along with Russia, Belarus
and Kazakhstan, becomes a full member of the union. The agreement
takes force on January 1, 2015. Babukhanyan said. In his opinion, Armenia's membership in
the union gives the country additional opportunities for developing
its economy and strengthening its sovereignty, and Armenia should
manage to take advantage of them. Contrary to many people's opinion,
he said, Armenia's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union enhances
its sovereignty by increasing its defense, including economic defense.
Babukhanyan pointed out that unlike European Union member countries,
new partners and associate members, all the members of the Eurasian
Economic Union will enjoy equal rights. Besides, the Eurasian Economic
Union member countries are closer to Armenia in terms of mentality
and values, including Christian values. As for some discord among
the union countries, Babukhanyan said this is natural in unions of
various countries. he said. ----0---
