ArmInfo. Establishing interaction between the Eurasian Economic Cooperation (EAEC) and the European Union will allow these two integration structures to take dominant positions in the international trading market. Such an opinion is held by the associate expert of the office of the world in Europe and the cooperation of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation Alexandra Vasilyeva.

At the same time, the expert believes that Armenia, which is a full member of the EAEC and has signed an agreement on a comprehensive and expanded partnership with the EU, can become a kind of bridge between these integration projects.

The next step should be the creation of a common free economic zone, the expert of the Foundation believes.
