Armenia to become full member of EEU in January: Armenian PM
Thursday, 24.07.2014, 17:30
Armenia will become a full member of the the Eurasian Economic Union
on January 1, 2015, Tengrinews reports citing NEWS.am.
Prime Minister of Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan announced this on Tuesday,
July 22. He added that the agreement on Armenia's accession into the
EEU would be signed in October this year.
The Prime Minister emphasized that the delay in signing of the
documents on Armenia's accession had nothing to do with the demand to
set up customs checkpoints on the border between Armenia and
Nagorno-Karabakh, an ethnically dominated Armenian enclave within the
Azerbaijani territory. He assured that this delay was due to
organizational reasons only, not geopolitical or political ones. The
same view was expressed earlier by Sergey Minasyan, Deputy Director of
the Caucasus Institute.
Hovik Abrahamyan also highlighted that his visit to Sochi, Russia last
week and his meeting with Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev had nothing to do
with Armenia's accession process. The main goal of his visit was to
meet with the Russian-Armenian businessmen and discuss investments
opportunities offered by Armenia.
Kazakhstan's Foreign Minister Yerlan Idrissov also said that the
agreement on Armenia's accession into the EEU would most likely be
signed in October 2014 at the meeting of the EEU member-countries'
presidents in Minsk, Belarus.
Signing of the documents for Armenia's accession into the Eurasian
Economic Union was initially scheduled for July 1, 2014.
The EEU is an economic union created on 29 May 2014 by the treaty
signed by the leaders of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia that will
come into effect on January 1, 2015. The union establishes a framework
for a comprehensive integration of its member-states and creates a
single market of 171 million people and with the cumulative GDP of 3
trillion dollars.
