 Armenian premier: there is no unified approach to building common  energy market in EAEU

ArmInfo.Today, the EAEU countries do not have a unified and clear approach to building a common energy market, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on February 2 at a meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council in Almaty.

"Parallel to the discussion of issues of cooperation in the field of  high technologies, our attention is focused on the areas of  interaction in which it is necessary to form common markets. Despite  the fact that in 2025 it is planned to launch the functioning of  common markets for gas, oil and petroleum products, today it is  obvious that there is no clear unified approach of the member states  from the perspective of the prospects for building and developing a  common energy market," Pashinyan noted.

The Prime Minister is confident that the formation of a common market  will give all EAEU member countries a number of key advantages:  contributing to the sustainable development of economies, improving  the well-being of the population, and strengthening energy security.  "Considering this, we believe that our dialogue should be aimed at  finding compromise agreements," said Nikol Pashinyan.
