INITIALING AGREEMENT WITH EU STILL ON ARMENIA'S POLITICAL AGENDA: HEAD OF PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION
YEREVAN, September 5. /ARKA/. Armenia's decision to access
Russia-initiated Customs Union does not imply suspension of political
dialogue with the European Union, head of Amrenian president's
administration Vigen Sargsyan said in his interview to Radio Liberty.
After the negotiations between Armenia's and Russia's presidents
Tuesday, a statement was made saying Armenia intends to enter the
Customs Union and participate later in formation of the Eurasian
Economic Union.
"We are very grateful to our European partners for the path we walked
together. Hence, initialing the agreement with the EU on Eastern
partnership summit in Vilnius remains on our political agenda",
Sargsyan said.
According to the head of the presidential administration, Armenia's
view is clear - to try to reconcile these concepts despite the opinion
that accession to the Customs Union is an obstacle on the way to free
trade agreement with the EU.
"In case it turns impossible, we'll take the most important
from this cooperation on the European path - the political
dialogue, counteraction in the system of values that enables
us modernizing the country", he said. N.V. -0-- - See more at:
