YEREVAN. – Armenia’s Eurasian Economic Union (EaEU) accession is delayed due to technical reasons.

Caucasus Institute Deputy Director, political analyst Sergey Minasyan stated the aforementioned at a press conference on Tuesday. 

In his view, it should not be forgotten that Armenia is integrating into a de facto still-non-existent organization. 

“The treaty on the creation of the EaEU was signed a little over a month ago, and it enters into force as of January 1, 2015,” the analyst recalled.

Minasyan added that there are major differences of opinion between the EaEU founding countries (Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus), and very often Armenia’s EaEU accession matter becomes a lever to put pressure on official Moscow, and to advance private interests.

Even though Armenia’s Eurasian Economic Union accession document was expected to be signed on July 1, the process is deferred indefinitely.
