    TURKEY'S MEMBERSHIP IN CU IS A GAME TO "SUPPRESS" EU: ORIENTALIST

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 31, ARMENPRESS: The suggestion of the President of
    Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev about Turkey's entrance to the Customs
    Union is a game to "suppress" the European Union. The Director of the
    Institute of Oriental Studies under the National Academy of Sciences
    of the Republic of Armenia Ruben Safrastyan stated about it at the
    press conference on October 31.

    "There is a comment that it was Nazarbayev's "game" as well. We
    cannot consider this step realistic at this stage as there are no
    real prerequisites for that. The Turkey's "game" is connected with
    the suspension of the negotiations process with the European Union",
    - said Safrastyan, Armenpress reports.

    According to the orientalist, the EU's discontent and the suspension
    of the negotiations process due to the antidemocratic policy led by
    the Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the connection
    with the Gezi Park issue became the reason for Turkey to "suppress"
    EU via the "blackmail" to join the Customs Union.

    "The process of Turkey's entrance to the CU will not deepen that
    much to become a real process", - said the Director of the Institute
    of Oriental Studies under the National Academy of Sciences of the
    Republic of Armenia Ruben Safrastyan.

    On October 25 the Customs Union countries supported Armenia's and
    Kyrgyzstan's decision to join the organization. The President of
    the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin stated this at the course of
    the press conference dedicated to the results of the session of the
    Supreme Eurasian Economic Council. Among other things the President
    of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin underscored: "We support the
    intention of Armenia and Kyrgyzstan to join our integration project.

    We have also come to a conclusion to establish a working group, which
    must prepare the relevant "road map" within the shortest period of
    time." At the same meeting the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan
    Nazarbayev announced about Turkey's entrance to the Union.

    In the result of the negotiations on September 3, 2013 in Moscow the
    Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin confirmed the aim of
    the Republic of Armenia and the Russian Federation in the direction
    of further development of economic integration processes in the
    Eurasian territory. In that context the President of the Republic of
    Armenia Serzh Sargsyan announced about the Armenia's decision to join
    the Customs Union and the necessity of implementation corresponding
    steps for that aim and in future about participating in formation of
    the Eurasian economic union. The President of the Russian Federation
    Vladimir Putin expressed his support to the abovementioned decision
    of Armenia and informed about the readiness of the Russian side to
    support the process. Serzh Sargsyan noted that this decision is not
    refusal from dialogue with European organizations.

    Earlier it was intended that Yerevan will sign the Association and
    Free Trade Zone Agreement with the European Union in Vilnius. The
    Eastern Partnership summit will be held on November 28-29 in Vilnius,
    during which the signing (or pre-signing) of the Association Agreement
    with some Eastern Partnership countries is expected.
