YEREVAN. - The analysis of the mutual commodity turnover between the Republic of Armenia and Republic of Belarus indicates growth in quantitative terms in actually all positions.

Belarus Ambassador to Armenia Igor Nazaruk told the aforementioned to Armenian News – NEWS.am.

According to the diplomat, even if there has been no significant growth in indexes yet, at least no drop in mutual trade has been observed.  “And I think this is thanks to the fact that our borders have opened; we have no customs procedures, all this is in the past. We have free movement of goods: other degrees of freedom – free movement of services, workers and capital – which also function with certain reservation, will also be implemented in nearest future. Some time later the reservations will also be in the past,” Nazaruk said.  

In financial terms, the trade indexes have somewhat deteriorated as compared to 2014, he noted. “This is due to a number of reasons: change in the rate of key currencies, [as well as] change in the cost of basic hydrocarbons - fuel and gas,” Igor Nazaruk said.

In the diplomat’s words, Armenia and Belarus are members of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). “It’s difficult for me to say which union is good, but, apparently, the EEU has been the best so long. It “was born” recently; it has good potential and good future. And the speed which we have taken is very successful,” Nazaruk said.
