Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan stated today in Astana that security is the cornerstone of economic development and prosperity of the Eurasian Economic Union member states.

Serzh Sargsyan made this statement during his speech at the session of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council.

 

“I consider it very important that the states that formed the Eurasian Economic Union are simultaneously members of the CSTO, which aims to ensure complete security on our territory. The escalation of situation at Azerbaijan’s borders with Armenia and at the Line of Contact, caused by Azerbaijan, became a serious challenge for security in the EAEU region. The threat is evident - either our international partners view the Eurasian Economic Union zone as a place of economic development, stability and security, a zone where they can make investments and initiate long-term projects, or people get used to this complicated situation and consider the zone a permament hotbed of tension and conflict,” stated the President of Armenia.

 

According to the President, Armenia cannot remain neutral regarding the aggresion that Azerbaijan unleashed against Nagorno-Karabakh.

 

“Of course, NKR Defense Army quickly restored the state of affairs, taking the situation under control. Russia played an important part here, being asked by Azerbaijan to mediate the renewal of the ceasefire regime. A meeting took place by mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group in Vienna, where a verbal agreement was reached on trust-building efforts, and establishment of monitoring and incident investigation mechanisms at the Line of Contact,” said Serzh Sargsyan and added that Armenia intends to work consecutively on realization of these agreements.

 

It is worth noticing that issues of further development of EAEU foreign commerce and economic relations were discussed at the session.

 

Heads of EAEU member states also signed over a dozen documents, including a conception on forming of EAEU common markets of oil and oil products.
