    ROBERT KOCHARYAN SKEPTICAL ABOUT ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES ARMENIA MAY HAVE FROM ITS CUSTOMS UNION MEMBERSHIP

    YEREVAN, February 25. /ARKA/. Robert Kocahryan, the second president
    of Armenia, said in an interview posted on his website that unlike
    the country's present authorities, he is not optimistic about economic
    advantages from Armenia's membership in the Customs Union.

    In early September, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and his Russian
    counterpart, Vladimir Putin, made a joint statement, according to
    which Armenia has decided to join the Customs Union and to take part
    in formation of the Eurasian Union in the future. The announcement
    came as Armenia was poised to sign the Association Agreement with the
    European Union aimed at making European Union's ties with Ukraine,
    Armenia, Moldova and Georgia closer.

    Kocharyan's skepticism is grounded on the argument that economic
    developments are slow-response processes and precipitous twists are
    harmful to them.

    "People are building their businesses for years being guided by current
    rules, and time is needed to restructure them," he said.
