the treaty on the country's joining the Eurasian Economic Union till

A draft document has been prepared, Sargsyan said at a session of the
Supreme Eurasian Economic Council on Thursday in Astana, Kazakhstan.

on the remaining issues," Sargsyan said, according to Itar-Tass.
"I confirm that the country is ready to take necessary measures in
order to submit the treaty to the parliament shortly and approve it,"
he said.

related agreement will apply to Armenia's internationally recognized
borders, both by the UN and the WTO,' he was quoted as saying by RIA
