The
question whether there should be a customs point on the Armenian-NKR border is
no longer on agenda, Nagorno-Karabakh's Prime Minister Ara Harutyunyan said in
an interview to Zhamanak newspaper.
When asked to comment on the effects the recent
fluctuations on the forex market have had on Nagorno-Karabakh's economy, he
said that the effects are the same as in Armenia. "The steps taken by the
Armenian Government to stabilize the situation have proved to be quite
effective. As a result, AMD is appreciating in both Armenia and
Nagorno-Karabakh," Harutyunyan said.
While presenting to the Byelorussian Parliament the
agreement on Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union on Friday,
Foreign Minister of Belarus Alexander Mikhnevich said that Nagorno-Karabakh
will not join the Union together with Armenia.
"Armenia has respected our wish and has added a point to the
agreement saying that Nagorno-Karabakh is not its part," Mikhnevich said.
