    Armenia to become EEU full member in due time, ambassador


    YEREVAN, August 2. / ARKA /. Russian ambassador to Armenia, Ivan
    Volynkin, has downplayed today speculation over Armenia's delayed
    membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU0 of Russia, Belarus and
    Kazakhstan saying at a news conference that Armenia will become a full
    member of the trade bloc in due time.

    In comments on a Kazakh foreign ministry statement that the treaty on
    Armenia's accession will be signed in October 2014, Volynkin said it
    might happen even earlier.

    At the May 29 summit of the Customs Union in Astana, Kazakh president
    Nursultan Nazarbayev publicly demanded that the treaty on Armenia's
    accession make clear that Armenia is joining the EEU with its
    internationally recognized borders that do not include
    Nagorno-Karabakh.

    He said this demand was conveyed by Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev
    in a letter sent to him and presidents of Russia and Belarus. The
    demand presumably means that the Armenian government will have to
    start taxing goods imported from Karabakh. Armenian authorities have
    ruled out such a possibility.

    After a meeting with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev in
    Russian Sochi in July Armenian prime minister Hovik Abrahamyan told
    reporters in Yerevan that the treaty on Armenia's accession to the
    Eurasian Economic Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan will be
    signed in late October. -0-
