ARMENIE
Free trade area agreement with the EU will ease economic contacts
between Armenia and the Union, political analyst Alexander Markarov
said.
He believes Armenia must work to get these conditions by signing
the agreement.
“Armenia is interested in strengthening economic ties with EU, at
the same time not damaging relationship with Russia,” Markarov said
during the Thursday media conference.
Speaking about the defense component, head of the Armenian branch
of the Institute of CIS States noted that EU, unlike Russia, is not
offering security guarantees for Armenia and other regional states.
Armenia is expected to initial Association Agreement, a core element
of which is the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA),
