Russian President Vladimir Putin believes it is time to start drawing
up an agreement on Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union,
which should be formed in 2015.
"The Eurasian integration project is appealing to our CIS partners.
The negotiations on engaging Armenia and Kyrgyzstan are at the most
advanced stage now," Putin said in opening a summit of the Supreme
Eurasian Economic Council on Wednesday.
Armenia has already adopted and is successfully implementing an action
plan to adapt the country's law to the Customs Union and the Unified
Economic Area standards, he said.
"Therefore, I believe we can switch to drawing up an agreement on
Armenia's accession to the future Eurasian Economic Union," Putin said.
The Russian leader invited all participants in the project to weigh
its possible advantages and disadvantages. He also pointed out that
it is important to continue Kyrgyzstan's accession to the Eurasian
Economic Union.
