ARMENIA IS MOVING TO WHERE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT MAY HAPPEN - HOVHANNES IGITYAN
14:00 * 17.10.14
With respect to Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union
(EEU), Expert Hovhannes Igityan told reporters on Friday that it is
generally admitted that Armenia is joining an alliance whose members
do not know anything about further developments.
"The EEU member-states have not so far specified their economic
relations. It is clear that Armenia will find itself in an even worse
situation," Mr Igityan said.
In contrast to the European Union (EU), the EEU does not set any
requirements. It is up to individual states to decide on how well
they fit the union.
"Everyone, including the government members, who are trying to make
favorable comments on Armenia's accession to the EEU, say that threats
have been neutralized and numerous issues settled," the expert said.
With respect to the statements on a customs station between Armenia
and Nagorno-Karabakh, Mr Igityan said that he considers it a mere
formality.
Armenia's accession to the EEU will result in a price rise because
Armenia will thus violate all its agreements with other states.
"And the sanctions against Russia may be applied to Armenia as well.
Even government members do not conceal the fact."
