YEREVAN, AUGUST 25, ARMENPRESS. Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan says Turkey’s announcements on joining the Eurasian Economic Union are absurd, reports “Armenpress”.

Kocharyan said for joining the EAEU Turkey must withdraw from a number of unions.

“Many absurd announcements are made. For joining the EAEU Turkey must withdraw from the EU Customs Union, the country must stand back from its path towards the EU. Here many other issues exist, that’s why it is meaningless to comment on such absurd announcements”, Shavarsh Kocharyan said.

As for any other state’s, as well as Turkey’s membership to the EAEU, Kocharyan said it is possible to make such a decision only through mutual agreement of the member states.
