ACCESSION TO EURASIAN UNION ONLY CHANCE TO ENSURE SECURITY - ARMENIAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY
YEREVAN, October 7. /ARKA/. Accession to the Eurasian Economic Union
(EEU) is the only opportunity for Armenia to solve its security
problem, the head of the Democratic Party of Armenia Ara Sargsyan said.
Historically, Armenia has tied its security to Russia for more than
twenty years now, in the framework of the Collective Security Treaty
Organization in particular, Sargsyan told a press conference on Monday.
Yet, according to the politician, the country has not taken the
required steps ahead of its EEU membership.
In particular, zero customs duties are currently used for raw stock
export, whereas as an EEU-member Armenia will have to review tariffs
for exports of raw produce to any country, apart from EEU members,
he said.
The former head of the Central Bank of Armenia Bagrat Asatryan,
in turn, says the country will have nothing out of its EEU membership.
"It is a political project. Armenia's economic model can be in no
way harmonized with the EEU economic model", Asatryan said. -0--
