ArmInfo."We will be very glad to see Azerbaijan in the Eurasian Economic Union," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said during a meeting with students of the Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy (ADA) on November 20 in Baku.
"This union is an open integration community, we did not force anyone to join this organization, we are currently considering the inclusion of Tajikistan in this structure." We are also receiving calls from countries that are not members of the CIS, "Lavrov said.
Meantime, Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan repeatedly stated that Azerbaijan did not address this issue, but if such a desire arises, Armenia expressed it clearly. "According to the provisions of the agreement, this status can not be attributed to a country that acts to the detriment of a member state and the entire organization.
It is enough to note only the blockade. From this point of view, there can be no talk about the status of the observer, let alone membership, "said Kocharian, In his turn, Sergei Glazyev, advisor to the Russian president on issues of regional economic integration, stated in Yerevan in October this year that the decision to accept Azerbaijan into the Eurasian Economic Union depends on the position of Armenia.
