Ex-Prime Minister of Armenia spoke in favor of common currency of EAEU

Former Prime Minister of Armenia, a member of parliament from the opposition Armenian National Congress, Grant Bagratyan, urged EAEU countries to establish a common currency.

EAEU member states should establish a single currency, the former-Prime Minister of Armenia believes.

"Since the trade turnover between the countries of the EAEU amounts to 300 billion dollars, operations should not be carried out in dollars. In order to reduce the need for this currency, operations between countries should be conducted in a different currency," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
