The current activities of the Eurasian economic association enable to raise economic efficiency, Russian political scientist Andrei Areshev told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

To the query as to which countries will be included in the Eurasian Economic Union in 2015, he responded:  

“Everything depends on the precise talks to be held with a given country. As far as reported, Kyrgyzstan has filed an application to join the Eurasian Economic Union, [and] consultations are in progress with Ukraine,” Areshev said.

He also stressed that Armenia, Turkmenistan, and several other countries likewise may join the separate aspects of Eurasian integration.

“As is known, this is about the economy and nothing more; this is not about the loss of political sovereignty. The Eurasian Economic Union project stresses its exclusively economic nature,” Andrei Areshev concluded.
