NO PLANS FOR UNITING ARMENIA AND EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION MEMBER COUNTRIES' INTERNET SPACE
YEREVAN, July 14. /ARKA/. Grigory Sahiyan, deputy chairman of the
Internet Society nongovernmental organization, told journalists on
Monday that there were no plans for uniting Armenia and the Eurasian
Economic Union member countries' Internet space.
He said there was no talk about that in discussions over Armenia's
accession to the Customs Union and there no such a requirement was
put to Armenia, all the more so it would be quite difficult to put
Armenian national Internet in tune with Cyrillic.
Sahiyan said that this is not a top-priority direction for Armenia,
since Russia's key resources Yandex, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and
Kaspersky, which has only a one-percent influence in the world's
Internet.
Nevertheless, cooperation in information technology area still exists,
he said, especially in cyber security, and this is specified by the
Collective Security Treaty Organization.
On May 29, at a session of Eurasian Economic Council in Astana,
Kazakhstan, the Armenian president expressed Yerevan's intention to
join the Eurasian Economic Union agreement until June 15. However,
appropriate papers have not been signed so far.
On July 1, Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a meeting
of Russian diplomats, said Armenian will become a full member of the
union very soon.
In resent days, media outlets quoted Kazakh Foreign Minister Yerlan
Idrisov as saying that the agreement between Armenia and Eurasian
Economic Union is likely to be signed in October 2014 at a regular
meeting of Eurasian Economic Union countries' presidents in Minsk.
