EEU is a growing real economy zone – expert
YEREVAN, November 26. /ARKA/. The Eurasian Economic Union is a real economy area that will grow strong, Russian political analyst and vice-president of PIR Centre Dmitry Polikanov said, as cited by Novosti-Armenia.

“CIS is a certain general platform for meeting and discussing things, while the EEU is a mechanism of practical cooperation and interaction. I don’t think they will merge soon as the EEU implies a much more serious set of obligations than the CIS, and not everyone is prepared for it”, Polikanov said in his online interview to Novosti-Armenia.

The two organizations will continue co-existing, with CIS used more and more as a place of consultations and the EEU being a zone of real economy, hence, with prospects for growth, according to the expert.

On October 10 Armenia signed the EEU treaty that will come into force on January 1, 2015.

Journalists are interviewing experts, analysts and politicians as part of the “pressing-interest dialogues with Armenian media” project that is held by Region Research Center (Armenia) and is supported by the British Embassy in Armenia. –0--
