Kyrgyzstan has no other choice, except entering the Customs Union: Atambayev

Kyrgyzstan has no other choice, except entering the Customs Union, the president of Kyrgyzstan Almazbek Atambayev said today at the press conference in the state residence "Ala-Archa"

According to him, the USSR will not come back. "Nobody will create it. We have no other exit, except entering the Customs Union. For example, customs control. Border is closed and our milk is stopped being ccepted. We saw economic blockade in 2010," he said.

According to the president, historically, Russia and Kazakhstan are closer to Kyrgyzstan. "Besides to you it is not necessary to forget about our 1,5 million people who work in Russia. If we enter the Customs Union, it will be easier to our migrants," the head of state said.
