According to Russian Chair of the Interparliamentary Committee on Cooperation between the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia and the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Nikolai Ryzhkov, the majority of Armenia's population wants the process of Armenia's accession to the Customs Union to be concluded soon.
"We know that the majority of Armenia's population wants Armenia to join the Customs Union. We welcome this approach. Of course, we also know that there were people [in Armenia] who wanted to deepen relations with the West, but there are many restrictions there. It's possible to join there, but then how can you get out?" he said, not elaborating on what "there" referred to.
On Ukraine's decision not to join the Customs Union, Ryzhkov said that the Ukraine is not aware of the restrictions imposed by the EU.
