EXPERT: ARMENIA'S ACCESSION TO THE EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION TO HELP COUNTRY IN SOLVING ITS MAJOR PROBLEMS
YEREVAN, October 14. /ARKA/. Vardan Khachatryan, a former member of
the National Assembly, thinks Armenia's accession to the Eurasian
Economic Union will help the country in solving its major problems.
On October 10, the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council gave its
approval to Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union as the
union member countries' leaders gathered in Minsk. As a result, the
accession agreement was signed. It means Armenia, along with Russia,
Belarus and Kazakhstan, will become a full member of the union that
will start functioning on January 10, 2015.
Speaking Tuesday at a news conference, Khachatryan said that Armenia's
major objectives are to enhance its security and restore its economic
ties.
He said that Armenia has already been a part of the system, but ties
with it have been artificially cut off, and they will start restoring
again, and the country's safety is ensured by its membership in the
Collective Security Treaty Organization.
"It is difficult to imagine that Armenia would be able to create
a competitive brand at the European market, and as for security,
associate EU membership is very queer," he said. --0----
