T. Poghosian: Roadmap for CU should be discussed in parliament

The roadmap for Armenia’s entry into the Customs Union should be a subject of serious discussions in the Armenian parliament, the deputy of Heritage parliamentary faction Tevan Poghosian said during the international conference entitled ‘European Integration 2013: Prospects of EU-Armenia Relations after the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius’.

He expressed an opinion that all the institutions of the Armenian side, which were involved in negotiations with the European Union, should also participate in negotiations on the Customs Union because ‘they can propose good models to the Customs Union’.

“The Customs Union is also a political component and this program will achieve success. But external reforms of Armenia should never be conditioned by reforms in Customs Union member states,” Tevan Poghosian said.
