Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian appears to have reaffirmed his objections to Armenia's membership in the customs union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan that Moscow hopes will develop into a closely-knit bloc of friendly ex-Soviet states.
In an interview with the Russian daily "Izvestia" published on Monday, Sarkisian indicated that the Armenian government is more enthusiastic about its ongoing negotiations with the European Union on the creation of a Deep and Comprehensive and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA).
"Our priority today is the agreement on the comprehensive free trade zone," he said. "We want to sign it in 2013, even though our European colleagues think that this will happen in 2014."
