YEREVAN. – The views, according to which accession to the Customs Union will undermine the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) conflict, are unfounded. 

Armenian National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan told the above-said to Armenian News-NEWS.am.    

“Regardless of all this, one thing is clear: The security and the economic development of the Republic of Armenia are a priority and the most important for us. And they are closely linked to the security of Artsakh [i.e., Nagorno-Karabakh] and the settlement of the NK conflict.  

“Membership in the Customs Union should be regarded as the most important fundamental step in this framework. Hence, the opinions and the views, according to which membership in the Customs Union will undermine the settlement of the NK conflict, [and] the statehood and sovereignty of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, are unfounded, to put it mildly,” Abrahamyan stated in particular.    

To note, following the talks that were held on September 3 in Moscow between Armenian and Russian Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin, Sargsyan had announced that Armenia plans to join the Customs Union and subsequently engage in the formation of the Eurasian Economic Union.
