Turkey will join the Customs Union when Russia joins NATO, Arghvan Vardanyan, Secretary of ARFD Faction, said in a briefing in the parliament, Friday, when commenting on Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev's suggestion to admit Turkey to the Customs Union.
To recall, Nazarbayev made a relevant statement at the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Minsk on 24 October. He said that Turkish president personally applied to him with such request.
"I don't think that we should believe in everything politicians say even at such authoritative meetings at the highest level. Anyway, we do not take that statement seriously, as it is impossible in practice due to the current global geopolitical situation," Vardanyan said.
