MINSK, 19 December (BelTA) - Nagorno-Karabakh will not become part
of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) after Armenia's accession,
Belarusian First Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Mikhnevich said
while presenting the draft law on the ratification of the treaty on
Armenia's accession to the EEU, BelTA has learned.
"We were concerned about the fact that the territories that do not
form part of Armenia could join the Customs Union. The Armenian side
appeared to be understanding of this requirement, of our request. A
memorandum stating that Nagorno-Karabakh is not part of Armenia was
attached to the agreement. The Armenian side made an official verbal
statement," Alexander Mikhnevich noted.
He also emphasized that there are no obstacles for Armenia to become
de facto member of the Customs Union and the EEU.
Besides, Alexander Mikhnevich pointed out that before the agreement
on Armenia's accession to the EEU was signed, the country had done
a lot of work to bring its regulations in line with the ones already
adopted by Belarus, Russia, and Kazakhstan.
