Russian Federation Council Chairperson Valentina Matviyenko urged Armenia to speed up its accession to the CIS free trade zone agreement and Eurasian integration in general on an official visit to Yerevan Wednesday.
"This agreement creates conditions for invigorated trade and economic cooperation," Matviyenko said at a meeting with Armenian Parliament Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan, according to news agency Itar-Tass.
The Russian official also said that the agreement had been signed "subject to WTO rules and therefore does not obstruct accession to the Organisation".
Abrahamyan reportedly assured Matviyenko that this issue would be considered shortly.
Matviyenko also stressed that Eurasian integration "does not contradict European integration".
