Armenia lives in blockade by two neighbors: Armenia’s Prime Minister

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS. The Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan gave an interview to the Ukrainian segodnya.ua website. At the course of the interview the Prime Minister touched upon the reasons for the decision of the Republic of Armenia upon joining the Customs Union, the current difficulties in relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan, as well as the role of information technologies in the economy of the Republic of Armenia.

-Why did the authorities of Armenia decide to join the Customs Union?

The Customs Union is “a new window of opportunities” for the economy of the Republic of Armenia. I believe that long-term investigations and discussions ended with success and we got an opportunity to introduce an offer of joining the Customs Union. It is not secret that the absence of the common border with the Customs Union causes serious studies for realizing negative and positive implications (you can read the full variant of the interview in Armenian and Russian).
