YEREVAN. – Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Chairman and businessman Gagik Tsarukyan’s spokeswoman Iveta Tonoyan was asked about Armenia’s decision to join the Russia-led Customs Union, Aravot daily reports.

“Tonoyan recalled that, during a meeting in September, Tsarukyan gave an assessment that rules out ‘ambiguity’ [by saying] that Russia is a friendly country to Armenia, the most important economic partner, [and] strategic ally.    

‘“In addition, thousands of Armenians live there, and hardly anyone would want for Armenian-Russian relations to deteriorate. So, Mr. Tsarukyan’s position is clear with respect to Armenian-Russian relations.  

‘“But in terms of the Customs Union, the test of time is still in need,’ the spokeswoman remarked,” Aravot writes. 

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.
