The statements that Armenia's role in the Eurasian Economic Union
(EEU) is ignored are a sabotage, Leonid Slutsky, Head of the
Russian State Duma's Committee on the CIS, Eurasian integration and
Relations with Compatriots, said at a press conference in Yerevan
when commenting on the Armenian opposition's statements that the
Putin-Nazarbayev-Lukashenko meeting in Astana without Serzh Sargsyan
proves that Armenia plays an insignificant role in the EEU.
Slutsky stressed that the three presidents' meeting in Astana was not
held in the EEU format, this is why Serzh Sargsyan was absent from the
meeting. He added that the meeting in Astana covered issues related
to some changes in Kazakhstan's stand on the EEU. The thing is that
Kazakhstan was one of the initiators of creation of that structure
but later it alienated itself from the structure to some extent. "As
for Armenia, it is an important partner within the EEU", he said.
