Armenia's decision to join the Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic
Union comes from its economic and strategic interests, Armenia's
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan said at the 5th Armenia-Diaspora
Forum on Saturday.
He said that the Supreme Eurasian Council has already approved the
agreement for Armenia's joining the Eurasian Economic Union. "So, we
will do it shortly," Nalbandyan said.
On the other hand, Armenia is actively working to develop its
cooperation in the framework of the Eastern Partnership program.
"We are consistently deepening our involvement in international
process and the work of international organizations and are seeking to
improve our image in the world," Nalbandyan said.
He said that Armenia is actively deepening its strategic partnership
with Russia, friendly relations with the United States and good-
neighbor ties with Georgia and Iran.
"The world community supports our commitment to establish relations
with Turkey without preconditions," the Armenian FM said.
He noted that the top priority of Armenia's diplomacy is to develop
its economic, cultural and humanitarian ties and to protect the
interests of Armenians worldwide.
