Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan stated in Gyumri today that "only three months passed since the moment of announcing Armenia's will to join the Customs Union but colossal work has already been done".

"Supreme Eurasian Economic Council made the relevant decision. A memorandum between the Armenian government and Eurasian Economic Commission has been signed. 22 task forces are established which carry out works on taking up necessary measures and preparing legislative changes. At the same time, the mechanisms of using a number of key privileges and benefits to Armenia on a bilateral basis which are applied in the relations of other Customs Union countries were already agreed upon today. I would like to especially thank the Russian President for it. Mr. Putin, it's a step of a real partner and friend. It is of key importance for ensuring viability of the Armenian economy. Thank you very much!", stated the Armenian President addressing a speech at Armenian-Russian Interregional Forum".
