Sarkisian Again Defends Eurasian Union Entry

Armenia will eventually benefit from its recent accession to the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) despite increasingly suffering from knock-on effects of Russia's current economic troubles, according to President Serzh Sarkisian.

In an interview with the Russian TV channel Rossiya-24 aired late on Monday, Sarkisian insisted that membership in the EEU opened up "good prospects" for the Armenian economy. "We are becoming part of a 170 million-strong market and that is a very good achievement for a small country like Armenia," he said.

"The functioning of the EEU, based on uniform, transparent and civilized rules, will only help to improve the well-being of our people," he added.
