Armenian President Serzh Sargayan says his country is ready to join the Customs Union of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus. According to the president, there are now only technical problems to be solved.
"I must say there are now no obstacles on our way to the Customs Union, only a couple of technical issues, which easily be resolved," the Armenian president said at a meeting of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia.
Sargsyan said however that Nagorno-Karabakh, which is now controlled by Armenian forces even though it is legally a part of Azerbaijan, will not be treated as an Armenian territory in the framework of the Customs Union.
The issue has recently been touched upon by Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who has asked for an explanation of Karabakh's status in the body.
