    ARMENIA'S ENTRY INTO CUSTOMS UNION NOT TO IMPEDE TIES WITH GEORGIA: LEADER

    - Armenia's decision to join the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus
    and Kazakhstan will not impede the development of trade and economic
    ties with Georgia, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said on Thursday
    after talks with Georgian counterpart Georgy Margvelashvili.

    The two presidents discussed at the talks "Armenia's participation
    in integration processes underway on the Eurasian space," Sargsyan
    said, adding that he had discussed with the Georgian president his
    country's integration plans. "Of course (we presented) all arguments
    and approaches that we based on in opting for the Customs Union,"
    he said.

    "We share the opinion that the choice of our countries should not
    impede our economic relations," he added.

    He said "Armenia's decision to join the Customs Union and Georgia's
    decision to sign an agreement on a free trade zone with the European
    Union don't impede economic relations" of the two states.

    "On the contrary, these decisions offer new possibilities for our
    entrepreneurs," the president said, noting within that context the
    importance of the activity of joint Armenian-Georgian working group
    for trade and economic issues.

    The group was set up last year, and its first session is due in
    Yerevan on March 21.

    Georgian President Georgy Margvelashvili is in Armenia on a two-day
    official visit. This is his first trip to Yerevan after being elected
    for presidency.
