Lavrov expects Armenia's decision to join Customs Union to be backed by all member-states
NOVO-OGARYOVO, Moscow region. Sept 3 (Interfax) - Once a political decision on Armenia's accession to the Belarusian-Kazakh-Russian Customs Union has been made, technical procedures are being started to complete this process, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"Procedures existing in the Customs Union are taking effect, which include an address to the leaderships of the three states that founded the Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic Commission," Lavrov told journalists following negotiations between the Russian and Armenian presidents in Moscow on Tuesday.
"This is already a subject of negotiations, and it is quite technical," he said.
"The political decision has been made in both Armenia and Russia. I hope it will be supported by all Customs Union members," Lavrov said.
