    ARMENIA'S ACCESSION TO EAU NO THREAT TO KARABAKH - OFFICIAL

    11:15 * 30.05.14

    Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union (EaU) without
    the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) does not pose any threat to the
    country at all, says a spokesperson of the NKR president.

    "How could the membership of Artsakh [Nagorno-Karabakh] be possible
    if Artsakh is a different state? Besides, you never put a customs
    checkpoint when joining other organizations. I don't see any concerns.

    On the contrary, it may boost the growth of the local economy,
    agriculture, industries and reprocessing production," David Babayan
    told Tert.am.

    In his speech at the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council's summit
    on Thursday, President Norsultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan said he
    doesn't want his country's integration into the common economic area
    to irritate the neighboring Azerbaijan and cited the WTO membership
    precedent as an example.

    Commenting on the statement, Babayan said he thinks that the Kazakh
    leader hinted at Nagorno-Karabakh's possible membership issue. "I
    think Nazarbaev responded to the question as to whether Armenia will
    join the Customs Union without Artsakh, as it did in the case of the
    World Trade Organization. In either case, we do not have a customs
    checkpoint between Armenia and Artsakh, and that's something that
    drives many to concerns," he noted.
