YEREVAN. – If it continues like this, Armenia will not join the Eurasian Economic Union (EaEU); no one will accept Armenia to where Azerbaijan will not be, political scientist Manvel Sargsyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.       

In his conviction, even the opposite may occur and Azerbaijan would join EaEU, but Armenia would not.   

“We see that even Armenia’s authorities have no idea about the specific problems because of which the country’s EaEU accession is being delayed; this is somewhat bizarre,” Sargsyan noted.

In the analyst’s view, Azerbaijan’s—rather than Armenia’s—accession in EaEU is more important for Russia.

“There are also other problems. [The other two EaEU members] Kazakhstan and Belarus don’t share Russia’s proposals for the Ukrainian issue. In fact, even the union’s founding countries fail to agree on specific matters. [So,] now, what can be said about the other countries?” Manvel Sargsyan concluded.   

Even though Armenia’s Eurasian Economic Union accession document was expected to be signed on Tuesday, July 1, the process is deferred indefinitely.
