Priority of Armenian presidency at EEU is elimination of obstacles, says Pashinyan

Armenia, by assuming the presidency at the EEU (Eurasian Economic Union) bodies, is planning to work actively, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in an interview with the Russian RBK TV.

“Presidency at the EEU supreme bodies enables to work more actively in the organization and to attempt to boost the general work. This is exactly what we are set to do. I have already talked about priorities, but I would like to emphasize that I find the elimination of obstacles that exist at the EEU to be the main [one]. It has been calculated and presented that 80 obstacles exist in the Eurasian Union territory, concerning a number of sectors. Here I must note that in addition to “de jure” obstacles there are also “de facto” obstacles. Our main goal will be eliminating some part of them. If we succeed [to do so] in entirety, then it will be very good,” Pashinyan said.
