YEREVAN, December 9. / ARKA /. First deputy chairman of a Russian parliament’s lower chamber’s committee on CIS affairs, Eurasian integration and relations with compatriots Oleg Lebedev said establishing customs check points on Armenia’s border with Nagorno-Karabakh is inappropriate, Novosti-Armenia reported.
"In my personal opinion, no,” said Lebedev, when asked by journalists whether customs check points must be set up on Armenian-Karabakh border.
He said this issue is likely to be discussed by the heads of governments of the Eurasian Economic Union’s member countries and their foreign ministers in 2015.
Earlier, Armenian economy minister Karen Chshmarityan said the agreement on Armenia's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union does not provide for the establishment of customs check points on the Armenian-Karabakh border. -0-
