YEREVAN, December 25. /ARKA/.Moscow and Brussels should agree over format of revelations between Armenia and the European Union, Tatul Manaseryan, an economist, told journalists on Thursday.
«Everybody expects this problem solution from Moscow and Brussels, and this is not Armenia and the European Union's matter of Armenia and Eurasian Economic Union's matter – this is Moscow and Brussels' issue,» he said. «Technical problems within WTO should be solved far easier than it is going on today.»
Manaseryan stressed the importance of integration processes saying good signs are seen here, and this gives grounds for hoping that certain progress will be reached in the relations in 2015.
The economist said that difficult but very dynamic processes are seen in the global economy now and singled out liberalization of migration procedures among them as a major challenge for Armenia.
«Migration is a matter of national security to us,» he said. «But our capacity is sufficient to meet the strategic challenges we'll ace in 2015.»
The Eurasian Economic Union treaty, signed by Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan on May 29 in Astana, takes force on January 1, 2015. Armenia signed its accession agreement on October 10, 2014. The agreement is already ratified by Russian, Belarusian and Kazakh parliaments. It was planned earlier that Armenia would sign the EU Association Agreement in November 2013 at an Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius, but this didn’t happen. ---0----
