Today's agenda indicates recent panaroma of world politics.

Eurasian Union Treaty Disproves Western Skepticism – Russian Lawmaker

Alexei Pushkov said “They tried to convince us that only Western countries can integrate economically, and not post-Soviet states, that they are only destined to become satellites of Western integration groups.”

The deal not only confirmed the success of the integration processes between Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus, but also refutes “calculations by foreign power centers for the economic and political subordination of these states,” Pushkov said.

Pushkov said it is highly likely that other countries will join the Eurasian Economic Union in the future.

“I believe there is no need to hurry up. This accession should ripen. It took the integration processes in Europe over 40 years to form the modern European Union,” he said.

Eurasian Economic Union to Become Economic Power West Has to Reckon With – Lawmaker

The nascent Eurasian Economic Union (EAU) will soon become an economic power that the West will have to reckon with, and its creation was a logical response to attempts by Western partners to establish unfavorable rules of the game, Russian lawmaker Anton Zharkov said Thursday.

Earlier in the day, Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev announced his country was planning to join the union by the end of the year.

The leader already met with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a roadmap for the accession, with Putin saying Russia was ready to assist the country in the process.

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan also said Armenia was set to join the EAU Treaty by June 15. The Russian President hailed the initiative, saying the deal should be signed as soon as possible.
