Areg Kochinyan, President of the "Armenian Council" NGO, believes that the CIS will remove Armenia from its ranks in the near future. He notes that Russia has already revised its attitude toward Armenia and views it as an enemy. Kochinyan points out that the European Union is making unprecedented statements, and more than 70% of goods produced in Armenia will have free access to Europe. This testifies to Armenia's growing importance in the process of unblocking communications.
