There are differences in approaches to integration between Russia and Belarus and other members of the EAEU, President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said, speaking at the Eurasian Economic Forum in Moscow.
The union state of Belarus and Russia provides for integration according to the formula "two countries - one state," Tokave said.
"A unique precedent or phenomenon has been created in world political history - the creation of a state according to the formula "Two countries - one state" with a single political, legal, military, economic, monetary, cultural, humanitarian space, with a single union government, with a single union parliament . I'm sorry, even nuclear weapons are one for two now," Tokayev said.
At the same time, as Tokayev explained, the rest of the EAEU countries are in different positions and, in his words, "we need to reckon with this reality."
The words of the President of Kazakhstan caused discussions on the Web. Some experts are of the opinion that Tokayev pointed to the existence of the Union State of Belarus and Russia as a problem in the EAEU.
