Apparently, Armenia has diversified its foreign relations and is
likely to cooperate with Russia on security and with Europe on
political and economic issues.
Meeting with the Russian Duma Speaker Sergey Narishkin who called to
join the Eurasian Union and sign the CIS Free Trade Area agreement
in autumn but Serzh Sargsyan did not reply "yes". It is notable that
Serzh Sargsyan focused on two aspects. He said strong relations with
Russia are the cornerstone of security of Armenia. It means Russia
prefers bilateral relations with Russia without joining the proposed
unions. Besides, Serzh Sargsyan shows that such cooperation is possible
only on security.
In official information on Narishkin's meetings there is no word on
CSTO, CIS, FTA and Eurasian Union. And it is not a surprise because
on the same day in Brussels Edward Nalbandyan negotiated accelerated
integration with the EU and the Armenian reforms donor conference.
In Yerevan Sergey Narishkin made interesting statements. He said the
European Union would like to unite its hi-tech and financial potential
with the natural wealth and scientific potential of the the Eurasian
space. He thinks a unified space stretching from Lisbon to Vladivostok
will result.
It means Armenia faces a choice between the EU's technological
and financial potential and the reserves of raw materials of the
Eurasian Union.
It is also notable that Narishkin confessed the CSTO is a military
alliance created to ensure Eurasian integration. "Eurasian integration
takes place under changeable international circumstances, the principle
of indivisible and equal security is not observed. Our countries
undergo the use of double standard, export of color revolutions,
discriminatory lists, the danger of terrorism and drug trafficking
persists. In response to present-day challenges and threats military
and political cooperation in the framework of the CSTO must be
strengthened on both bilateral and multi-lateral basis," he stated.
