President of Belarus said Armenia should understand clearly what the country needs to do on the way to integration, the way which has been already passed Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia.

Alexander Lukashenko touched upon Armenia’s accession during the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council being held in Minsk

“Armenia must assume all the obligations in full,” he emphasized.

According to him, the Member States of the Customs Union – Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan – must work out mechanisms of interaction with other countries wishing to join the Customs Union or abstaining from accession.

“On the one hand, we see Armenia’s intention to join our integration platform, on the other Ukraine, not a stranger to us, wants to be associated with the EU. In any event, it is necessary to develop constructive mechanisms of interaction between the member states and these countries,” Lukashenko said.

Belarus, he said, welcomes the accession of new partners, RIA Novosti reported.

Earlier, Lukashenko did not rule out that a certain document on Armenia’s intention to join the Customs Union could be signed at a meeting in Minsk
