Azerbaijan as a non-member of the Eurasian Economic Union did not participate in the organization’s recent intergovernmental council meeting because there was no consensus among the members – something required for the participation of any third country, the Armenian caretaker Deputy PM Mher Grigoryan told reporters, according to 1lurer.am.
Asked by reporters whether or not Armenia’s position is related to Azerbaijan’s refusal to return POWs, Grigoryan said: "The issue is very compound and I wouldn’t want to point out one condition or precondition out of context. There was no consensus over this issue, while such participation requires the participation of all member-countries," Grigoryan said.
