19:22, 25 October, 2013
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 24, ARMENPRESS. The membership of Turkey with the
Customs Union is unlikely, as the county is a member of NATO and seeks
the integration with the European Union. Turkologist Ruben Safrastyan
underscored it at a conversation with Armenpress News Agency.
According to Ruben Safrastyan, the policy of Turkey is not expected
to change drastically and the country has not made any official
announcements upon the wish to join the Customs Union. Ruben Safrastyan
pointed out that being a member of NATO, the latter will not wish
Turkey to be a member of the Customs Union within the frameworks of
an agreement with Russia.
Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev on 24 October suggested that
Turkey should be part of the Customs Union. The Kazakhstan President
made the relevant statement at the session of the Supreme Eurasian
Economic Council
