ArmInfo.Creating a single market for oil and gas in the context of the EAEU is very important for Armenia, since the country's economy is largely dependent on gas supplies from Russia.
In an interview with the economic observer Nikolay Korzhenevsky on the eve of the summit of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union in St. Petersburg, this was declared by the Acting President. Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan.The issue of forming common markets for oil, gas and petroleum products along with issues of a coordinated policy to regulate Internet markets, the development of network technologies will be discussed at the forthcoming meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in St. Petersburg on December 6, chaired by Russian President Vladimir Putin."We hope that, finally, we will succeed in creating an efficient gas market in the EEU," Pashinyan said.According to him, the issue of reciprocal payments is no less important: many economists and politicians speak of the need for de-dollarization of economic processes within the EAEU, but not all countries are prepared for mutual payments to be made in the currencies of the EAEU countries.All this, according to. Premier - practical issues that need to be discussed, and they are even more important than political issues.Speaking about the discussions regarding amendments to the EAEU documents, Nikol Pashinyan noted that Armenia made a proposal according to which the first deputy prime minister should represent the country at the EEU Intergovernmental Council. This year, the system of government in Armenia, as Pashinyan recalled, was changed, and the state is headed by the prime minister, not the president. According to the Armenian side, it would be more correct if the vice-premier represents the country in the Intergovernmental Council.
