Azerbaijan’s EaEU accession to help Karabakh settlement – Federation Council
15:14, 11.10.2014
The Federation Council of the Russian Federation hopes that the
Eurasian Economic Union’s (EaEU) establishment on January 1, 2015 will
contribute to the development of the domestic markets of the member
countries.
Vladimir Jabarov, who is First Deputy Chairman of the Council’s
Foreign Relations Committee, expressed the hope that new countries
will join the EaEU.
“Now there are four countries; Armenia joined [Russia, Kazakhstan, and
Belarus],” Jabarov stated expressing the hope that the Armenian
parliament will soon ratify the EaEU accession treaty that was signed
on Friday, TASS reported.
In his words, however, the other former Soviet republics likewise
should not be disregarded with respect to this integration process.
“In addition, relations with Azerbaijan likewise are developing well,
and we hope to have constructive cooperation in this direction.
“If, despite the long-standing conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh,
Azerbaijan takes such a decision [i.e., EaEU accession], this will be
the way for this conflict’s settlement, when the two countries [,
Armenia and Azerbaijan,] will be included together in one economic
union,” the Russian Federation Council member argued.
