    Eurasian integration to boost Armenia's job market - economist

    14:04 * 29.11.14


    An Armenian economist said Saturday that he expects the country's
    membership in the Eurasian Economic Union to essentially increase the
    export volumes and boost the job market.

    "We are de facto integrated into the Eurasian Economic Union," Ashot
    Tavadyan, Professor and Doctor in Economics, told reporters at a news
    conference, pointing out to the 30% decrease in the natural gas prices
    and the $200 million worth loan provided to the country for the
    reconstruction of the Nuclear Power Plant.

    Asked to comment on the possible losses that the country might suffer
    in case of deciding against Eurasian integration, Tavadyan said he
    thinks that it would essentially reduce the money transfers from
    Russia and lead to a surge in the gas prices. "We would lose 3 billion
    Dollars within five years," he noted.

    As for the Russian sanctions, the economist said he thinks that their
    influence would be tangible for Armenia regardless of the decision to
    join the economic bloc. "By signing the [EU] Association Agreement,
    Georgia will have no economic advantages over Armenia," the economist
    added.
