    One year on: The terms of Armenia's accession to EEU still unclear

    A year after Armenia declared plans to join the Customs Union of
    Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, the terms of Armenia's accession are
    still unclear, although some concrete dates have been mentioned on
    several occasions. A few days ago Kazakhstan's President Nursultan
    Nazarbayev said the issue will be solved at consultations in Minsk
    scheduled for October 10.

    Chairman of the Armenian National Assembly's Standing Committee on
    Financial-Credit and Budgetary Affairs Gagik Minasyan predicts that
    all CIS countries will finally join the Eurasian Economic Union. "This
    is an additional security guarantee," he says.

    Gagik Minasyan says no customs checkpoint will be built between
    Armenia and Karabakh, and there will be no changes in the relations
    between the two after Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic
    Union

    The MP says the name of the structure corresponds to its essence, i.e.
    the Union will not solve political issues. His confidence further
    reinforced after Kazakh President's recent statement that his country
    could quit EEU membership should it threaten Kazakhstan's
    independence.

    Gagik Minasyan tries to find something positive in every negative
    phenomenon. Thus, he sees the sanctions against Russia as another
    opportunity for our businessmen.

    "This opens new perspectives, because the Russian market provides good
    opportunities for the export of our products. There are reports about
    the rise of prices of the goods imported to Russia, and this is
    another incentive for us to enjoy favorable conditions for the export
    of goods to the Russian Federation by adopting a correct pricing
    policy."
