YEREVAN. – Russian Speaker Sergey Naryshkin’s statement had no clear
hinting that Armenian authorities have decided to join the Eurasian
project, expert Sergey Minsayan told Armenian News-NEWS.am. His
comments came after the Russian Duma Speaker Sergey Naryshkin’s
statement that Armenia’s leadership is following closely the
development of the Eurasian project and is working to determine its
place acknowledging that Eurasian economic area is a basis for trade
and economic relations.

According to the expert, Russia realizes very well that Armenia’s
engagement into the project is possible only on one condition, which
may be justified only by billions of subsidies by the Russian side.

“Whether Moscow is ready for this, it is difficult to claim,”
Minasyan added.

To note, the Russian Speaker Naryshkin stated on Monday that he had
discussed perspectives of developing Armenia-Eurasia cooperation
in the framework of Eurasian integration project with the Armenian
authorities.
