YEREVAN. – Armenia’s intention to join the Customs Union will not
affect settlement of Karabakh conflict, deputy director of Caucasus
Institute Sergey Minasyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
He noted that Russia would feel more obliged in terms of so-called
security guarantees granted to Armenia and in fact through Armenia to
Nagorno-Karabakh.
`This will further help reduce likelihood of hostilities by
Azerbaijan,’ he said.
Following the talks that were held on September 3 in Moscow between
Armenian and Russian Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin,
Sargsyan had announced that Armenia plans to join the Customs Union
and subsequently engage in the formation of the Eurasian Economic
Union.
