No proposal for Armenia's joining Eurasian Union was made during my meeting with Chairman of Eurasian Economic Commission

Yerevan, December 5. ArmInfo.

No proposal for Armenia's joining the Eurasian Union was made during my meeting with Chairman of the Eurasian Economic Commission Viktor Khristenko, Armenia's Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan told journalists on Wednesday.

The Premier evaded the question: what was the priority for Armenia - the European Union or the Eurasian Union?

When asked a similar question by MP Khachatur Kokobelyan earlier in the day, Sargsyan said that for many years already Armenia has been negotiating with the European Union for association membership, but active cooperation with the Eurasian Union is also among its priorities. "There are certain bilateral issues the countries integrating into the Eurasian Union prefer to discuss only within that organization. So, Armenia will actively work in this format," the Premier said.

Israel approved plans on Monday to capture the entire Gaza Strip and remain in the territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials said, in a move that if implemented would vastly expand Israel’s operations in the Palestinian territory and likely bring fierce international opposition. Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.
