Премьер-министр РА: Армения пока не получила официального предложения вступить в Евразийский союз

Армения пока не получила официального предложения вступить в Евразийский союз, поскольку обсуждения касательно формата, механизмов, инструментов союза, обязательств его будущих стран-членов, не завершены. Об этом 12 сентября в ходе "правительственного часа" в парламенте Армении заявил премьерминистр РА  Тигран Саркисян.

По его словам, Армения заинтересована в интеграционных процессах как в рамках Евразэс, так и в рамках СНГ и Евросоюза. "Мы считаем неправильным противопоставление этих интеграционных процессов, и в этой связи заявления российских властей совпадают с нашей позицией. Мы рассматриваем эти интеграционные процессы, как взаимодополняющие",

- сказал глава правительства. Он выразил уверенность в том, что механизмы сотрудничества должны быть усовершенствованы, приведены в соответствие с существующими реалиями. После того, как будет подготовлен документ, определяющий формат, инструменты и механизмы Евразийского союза, будут организованы открытые обсуждения, добавил Саркисян.

Он напомнил, что в ходе недавней встречи президентов Армении и России были сделаны политические заявления касательно вопроса и достигнута договоренность о создании рабочих групп для поиска форматов сотрудничества, которые будут соответствовать интересам Армении. "В своей внешней политике Армения не может войти в некие дипломатические игры: это крайне опасно для маленькой страны. В своем внешнеполитическом векторе мы открыты. Это означает, что все обсуждения и процессы в рамках евроинтеграции Армении прозрачны как для США, так и для России. Они прекрасно знакомы с нашей внешней политикой, здесь нет никаких секретов", - заключил армянский премьер.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
