YEREVAN. – Armenian Foreign Ministry reflected on the strange comment of Russia’s Channel One regarding Armenia’s joining the Customs Union.
“The discussions and results of the summit are reflected in press releases available on the official websites of the Armenian president and other leaders participating in the summit [Supreme Eurasian Economic Council meeting], and are reflected in the documents signed as a result of the summit. The mentioned press releases and documents are the only reliable and official source of information,” spokesperson Tigran Balayan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
Earlier in her comments to the summit held in Minsk, Channel One news presenter Irada Zeynalova, Azerbaijani by origin, said the Customs Union was initially thought as a union of states performing equal obligations.
“And therefore Armenia’s willingness will remain a mere wish in short-term perspective because of the unresolved territorial issue with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh,” she said.
Armenian president’s official website says “At the session presented for discussion were three documents pertinent to the preparatory works on Armenia’s accession to the Customs Union and Common Economic Zone which were approved. These documents are: a draft decision on Armenia’s accession to the Customs Union and Common Economic Zone, declaration on Armenia’s participation in the Eurasian integration processes and memorandum on deepening cooperation between the Eurasian Economic Commission and the Republic of Armenia.”
