This is an accomplished fact: opinions on Armenia's accession to EEU
20:52 * 10.10.14
This is an accomplished fact Armenia has actually been moving to for
over a year, Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group
member Gagik Minasyan told Tert.am as he commented on the signing of
the treaty on Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union
(EAU).
All the expectations that the treaty might not be signed have proved
disappointed.
As regards the delay in the process, Mr Minasyan said: "We are
following the timetable to join the Eurasian Economic Union along with
the others."
With respect to Armenia being a founding member of the Eurasian
Economic Union, he said:
"Among the documents related to the Eurasian Economic Union, I have
not read a single document that would describe privileges of a
founding member over the one that is not a founding member."
Political scientist Alexander Margarov said that like any integration
program the treaty envisages the creation of more favorable conditions
in a common economic area, a more efficient process of deeper
integration.
"The integration program's efficiency depends on how well the
member-states will be able to achieve the goals incorporated in the
document," he said.
Armenia has chosen accession to the Eurasian Economic Union because it
implies not only economic integration, but also consolidation of
strategic cooperation, Mr Margarov said.
