ANC, ARFD have similar views on Armenia’s integration to EAU

Armenia should continue European integration process and wait until specific plans are drawn up for formation of Eurasian Union, ARF Dashnaktsutyun Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Director Kiro Manoyan said.

For his part, Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc member Vladimir Karapetyan noted that Armenia should consider joining Eurasian Union after the latter comes up with specific documents.

On November 18, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan have signed a decree to set up a joint body to oversee and regulate the economy and trade in the three former Soviet countries. The Eurasian Economic Commission will be set up in January to regulate and to gradually take over functions in shaping and executing trade and economic policies from Russian, Belarusian and Kazakh authorities in a way similar to the economic bodies of the European Union.
