According to public opinion polls, approximately 80% of the Armenian public, most part of the Diaspora as well as the Russians are in favor of Armenia’s entry into the Eurasian Economic Union, head of Noravank Foundation Gagik Harutyunyan told reporters on Thursday.

In his words, Armenia’s accession to the Eurasian Economic Union resolves the issue of Armenia’s military and political security. Harutyunyan stressed that Armenia should take into account not only risks coming from Azerbaijan, but also the fact that the Islamists plan to move military operations from the Middle East to the Caucasus.

Mr Harutyunyan stressed that Armenia purses a balanced policy towards both the West and Russia.

The expert reminded those present that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan will participate in the meeting of heads of state and government of NATO states and ISAF participating states as part of the NATO summit on September 4 in Newport.
