Armenia should define its priorities in European and Eurasian integration

Aza Migranyan, the head of the laboratory of Inter-regional Development Problems under the Institute of the Market Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, discussed with Vestnik Kavkaza the prospects of Armenia's European and Eurasian integration.

According to the expert, the country shouldn't cancel one of its integration projects in order to enhance efforts to implement the other one. In such circumstances, Armenia should define its priorities in both projects.

"In its integration into the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, Armenia focuses on economic and military cooperation, while in its collaboration with the European Union, Armenia pays special attention to the humanitarian sphere, cultural and democratic development, since the country is committed to  European values," she says.
