Armenia can develop ties with EEU without common border - official
14:19 * 11.10.14
The absence of a common border between Armenia and the Eurasian
Economic Union (EEU) does not appear to be a problem at all, says
Victor Khristienko, the chairman of the Eurasian Economic Commission.
The EEU is to become the legal successor of the Eurasian Customs Union
starting from January 1, 2015. The Armenian Government approved the
treaty to accede to the economic bloc on October 2. The document was
signed on Friday at the Supreme Eurasian Economic Summit in Minsk
(Belarus).
"We speak of an ordinary border when it comes to goods. But the
Eurasian Union implies four levels of freedom. They include goods,
services, capital and the labor force. So border appears a less
important factor for the latter. Hence the absence of a common border
does not create any obstacle at all," Khristienko said in an interview
with a Russian TV channel.
He added that the digitalized financial services would facilitate the
country integration process further.
