Armenia has prepared draft agreement on joining Customs Union - Armenia PM
YEREVAN February 22
- Armenia has already prepared a draft agreement on joining the
Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, Armenian Prime
Minister Tigran Sarkisyan told Itar-Tass on Saturday.
"On our part, we have prepared a draft agreement on joining the
Customs Union, now it is to be studied by experts," he said.
"Next week, our delegation will come to Moscow to attend a meeting of
a big working group on the preparation of Armenia's accession to the
Customs Union, which is led by Minister of the Eurasian Economic
Commission Tatiana Valovaya," he noted.
In late December, the Armenian prime minister said that the agreement
would be ready by May. "We want to meet the deadline," he said, adding
that the "picture will be more clear" when the Armenian delegation
returned home from Moscow.
"Our first priority is to ensure stable, secure and sustainable
development," Sarkisyan stressed. "It is our first and foremost
priority which meets the interests of our people." This task, in his
words, was committed to paper in the programme of the Armenian
government and in the election programme of its President Serzh
Sargsyan.
