The Russian president’s more active policy toward the Caucasus is one of the greatest achievements in the region in recent times. 

Political scientist Mateusz Piskorski, Director of the European Center of Geopolitical Analysis, told the aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

In his words, the Armenian president’s announcement, with respect to the intention to become a member in the Customs Union and taking part in the Eurasian integration, is an important step in the integration processes in the post-Soviet environment.     

“One might even say that Armenia has made a specific progress. And I assume that, after Armenia, the other post-Soviet states will seriously consider accession to the processes of integration in the Eurasian Economic Union,” Piskorski concluded.   

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.
