Nagorno-Karabakh to continue economic relations with Armenia

Nagorno-Karabakh to continue economic relations with Armenia after
country joins EEU

14:45 * 07.12.14

The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) will continue economic relations
with Armenia, Vardkes Baghryan, a NKR Writers’ Union member, told
Tert.am in response to a question concerning Nagorno-Karabakh
intellectuals’ possible concern over Armenia’s accession to the
Eurasian Economic Union (EEU).

“Nagorno-Karabakh will continue exporting its products through
Armenia. I do not think any customs stations will be operated, which
has repeatedly been stated at the highest level. I do not think any
problems will arise, and Nagorno-Karabakh will be isolated,” Mr
Baghryan said.

“Nagorno-Karabakh only has communication with Armenia. We also have
good-neighborly relations with Iran. If Armenia’s economy grows, it
will have a positive impact on Nagorno-Karabakh,” he said.

Armenia will also mediate any relations between Nagorno-Karabakh and
the EEU member-states.

With respect to the approval of the treaty on Armenia’s accession to
the EEU by Armenia’s Parliament, Mr Baghryan said:

“It is common knowledge that Armenia can settle its security issues by
making this step.”

According to him, it was a well-thought-out decision.
