ArmInfo. The information about Belarus exit EEU a State Alliance is quite an insinuation..
According to BELTA, this was stated by Alexander Lukashenko, the President of Belarus at the meeting with public representatives, Belarusian and foreign media reporters. According to Lukashenko, this information appeared because there are some people who have benefits from that, and they are happy to see such information spread. " What is to the session of Ministers Board, Supreme State Board, and EEU summit trips, I had clear understanding of the situation: what is to discuss over, if the issues already discussed are not being solved? We have to solve those, because otherwise the Board sessions turn disgraceful. We hold sessions while the issues remain unsolved. What is more to say here?" Belarusian leader accentuated. At that, he reminded that Belarus never minded any integration projects - right opposite, Belarus always supported those.
Lukashenko clarified also, why he did not sign the EEU Customs Code ."I did not sign it, because many things that should happen never works. Moreover, I instructed to withdraw our specialists teams from customs entities. Without solving the issues I will not even touch that Code, as well as other documents," Lukashenko said. According to him, if Belarus is welcomed at integrated structures, other member countries should behave honestly and fair, and should not rise additional obstacles. Is it not a shame, that in 2015 our turnover in EEU dropped down for 40%, and for additional 18% last year? We do not supply anything to Kazakhstan, and You see what relations we have with Russia. We are ready to improve our relations, and that should be done promptly," Lukashenko summarized.
To remind, the Customs Code should be signed at the EEU Member Countries Leaders meeting in St. Petersburg on December 26, but Belarusiam President did not attend the summit. The code was signed by all the EEU member countries except Belarus.
