YEREVAN. – The statement by Russian president on Armenia's speediest accession to Eurasian Economic Union is addressed to Baku, political analyst Manvel Sargsyan said.

Commenting on the recent meeting in Astana, Sargsyan emphasized that Kremlin is making an attempt to attract Azerbaijan in the Union.

“Azerbaijan has stated they do not plan to join the economic alliance. Russia sent its delegate to Baku, and they decided to ponder on the proposal,” he said.

The analyst believes Nursultan Nazarbayev's remark mentioning  Armenia's accession with internationally recognized borders did not bear relation to Yerevan.

“No one cares whether Armenia will join with Karabakh or without. No one even cares whether we will join at all. They wanted to hear Serzh Sargsyan's response that Karabakh is not a part of Armenia and then sell the answer to Baku for a better price,” he added.

The treaty on the establishment of the Eurasian Economic Union was signed, in the Kazakh capital city Astana on May 29, by the leaders of Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. In addition, Armenia President Serzh Sargsyan participated in the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council and offered to sign a treaty on Armenia’s Union accession by no later than June 15.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, for his part, stressed the need to sign a respective document with Armenia in the shortest period of time.
