Armenia, Azerbaijan not likely to simultaneously join EEU - opinion
12:27 * 08.09.14
The chances that Armenia and Azerbaijan will simultaneously join the
Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) are almost equal to zero, according to a
Russian historian and political analyst.
Speaking to Tert.am, Alexander Krylov said he doesn't think that such
a scenario would offer any advantages to Russia at all. According to
him, the country is keen on making the project viable and successful
for future member states.
"Russia is eager to prevent the Eurasian Economic Union from turning
into an unviable CIS [Commonwealth of Independent States] model; it
seeks it to make it a successful project to ensure sustainable life
and welfare for the members. Hence, maximalist expansion plans with
the inclusion of states that have conflicts with one another do not
offer any prospects at all. Hence, I do not think that Armenia and
Azerbaijan's simultaneous membership in the EEU is possible in the
foreseeable future," the expert said, commenting on Russia's possible
interests.
