Head of the EU delegation in Armenia, Traian Hristea, recently stated
that there is no controversy for Armenia in its relations
simultaneously with the EU and the Moscow led Eurasian Union. Armenia
as a sovereign country has to decide itself which way to follow. The
Eurasian Union eventually will start functioning from 2015, whereas
the EU has been operating for 55 years now. According to the EU
official, being a member of one organization does not contradict
preserving good relations with another. Armenia could join the CIS
free trade zone but in parallel it should negotiate on free trade with
the EU as well.
