    ARMENIA PLANS TO JOIN EURASIAN ECONOMIC TREATY BY JUNE 15

    ASTANA, May 29 (RIA Novosti) - Armenia is planning to join the Treaty
    on Eurasian Economic Union before June 15, Armenian President Serzh
    Sargsyan said Thursday.

    "I ask to fix June 15 of the current year as a deadline to sign the
    agreement on Armenia accession to the Eurasian Economic Union Treaty,"
    Sargsyan said.

    In September 2013, in a surprising turn of events Armenia, which was
    earlier expected to sign an EU association agreement, said it decided
    to back off from economic integration with Europe and announced its
    plans to join the Russian-led Customs Union.

    In late April, presidents of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan ordered
    to prepare a draft agreement by June 1 on Armenia's Membership in
    the Customs Union and the Common Economic Space.

    The Eurasian Economic Union (EAU) was conceived as an EU-style bloc
    aimed at promoting integration and free trade between its three member
    states, Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus, with more countries to follow.

    Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier on Thursday the final
    treaty was completely ready to be signed. The treaty is expected to
    come into force on January 1, 2015.

    First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov told RIA Novosti earlier
    that the Russian, Belarusian and Kazakh delegations, working under
    the creation of the Eurasian Economic Union, have managed to resolve
    all the differences.
