YEREVAN. - Armenia should rule out the membership to hypothetical
Eurasian project, head of the European Movement Armenian organization
Victor Yengibaryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am commenting on the
Russian Speaker Sergey Naryshkin's statement that Armenia's leadership
is following closely the development of the Eurasian project and is
working to determine its place acknowledging that Eurasian economic
area is a basis for trade and economic relations.
`If Armenia is following Europe, simultaneous membership to the
Eurasian project is simply impossible. The Armenian Government has
clearly stated that as there are no borders with Russia, membership in
the customs union, which is a part of the project, is impossible. This
position should be confirmed later as well,' Yengibaryan said.
To note, the Russian Speaker Naryshkin stated on Monday that he had
discussed perspectives of developing Armenia-Eurasia cooperation in
the framework of Eurasian integration project with the Armenian
authorities.
