Union before September 10, Aram Safaryan, chairman of Integration and
Development research and analysis center, was quoted by Novosti-Armenia

He sees no obstacles to Armenia's Eurasian integration. Safaryan voiced
regret at certain political parties and nongovernmental organizations
made the matter a target of political posturing in a bid to reap
benefits of it.
In his words, negotiations between Armenia and the Eurasian Economic
Union founder countries are already completed - no political conditions
have been put to Armenia, all economic and technical problems have
been settled and everything is OK now.
Russian, Kazakh and Belarusian governments are now considering
the accession agreement, and after necessary procedures and the
governments' decisions a place will be chosen for signing it.
On May 29, at a session of Eurasian Economic Council in Astana,
Kazakhstan, the Armenian president expressed Yerevan's intention to
join the Eurasian Economic Union agreement until June 15. However,
appropriate papers have not been signed so far.
On July 1, Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a meeting
of Russian diplomats, said Armenian will become a full member of the
union very soon.
In resent days, media outlets quoted Kazakh Foreign Minister Yerlan
Idrisov as saying that the agreement between Armenia and Eurasian
Economic Union is likely to be signed in October 2014 at a regular
meeting of Eurasian Economic Union countries' presidents in Minsk.
