“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,” BELTA agency quotes Mikhnevich.

He also emphasized that there are no obstacles for Armenia to become de facto member of the Customs Union and the EEU.
