Agreement that was expected to be initialed on November 28 or 29 at
the Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius is believed to be unveiled
after the summit, Novosti-Armenia quoted Polish Ambassador to Armenia
Zdzislaw Raczynski as saying today at “Armenia in a Deadlock or on a
Crossroad: Ahead of Vilnius” political discussion. He said there is

the signing of only the first and final pages of the document,
and details, legal concepts etc. had to be specified throughout

counterpart, Vladimir Putin, made a joint statement, according to
which Armenia has decided to join the Customs Union and to take part
in formation of the Eurasian Union in the future.
