Why did Armenia decide to boost the negotiations on the EU Free
Trade Zone agreement and complete it in 2013 and not 2014? Do the
current authorities of Armenia intend to join the European Union? Is
it related to the fact that Russia is possible to be more insisting
when asking Armenia to join the Eurasian Union, so Armenia is trying
to get into the European gateway?
The world press started appealing to give a chance to the former
Soviet republics, including Armenia, to have independent membership
to EU. These calls are actively voiced about Moldova. But Ukraine,
Georgia, Armenia and Belarus are not allocated much attention.
Armenia has not yet been assured that the Association with the EU
could lead one day to the membership. Moreover, Armenia does not
pursue such a task. But, apparently, we implicitly go down to this.
Against this background, it is noteworthy that Turkey, which was an
EU member candidate in 2005, is stubbornly refuted membership. The
other day Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan visited Germany, where he
again stated that Turkey will not be standing on Europe~Rs doorstep
for ever. At the same time, Angela Merkel made it clear that until
Turkey ceases the occupation of Cyprus and performs a number of other
obligations of Europe, it can only dream about Europe.
Actually, forecasts that Armenia is possible to enter Europe before
Turkey may become reality. It is related to the most important
strategic interests of Europe and Armenia, as well as to the deepening
of the conflict between the two aggressive global systems.
Analysts dwell on the world technological progress and traditionalism.
At the same time, the first ~Sarmy~T is composed of the West with
its industrialized technologies, Christian doctrine of equality and
democratic technologies, and the second one ~V the East, with its
traditions, Islam, disapproval of the Soviet education and recognition
of the clan and other hierarchy.
When viewed in a different plane, the struggle is between advanced
technology societies with low birth rates and demographic expansion
of other societies. East contrasts the technological West with much
higher rates of demographic development.
Europe does not want to take this fight onto its territory. If Turkey
with its growing population becomes a part of the European Union,
the progressive technologies may just dissolve.
But Armenia, in this sense, is in the same ship with Europe ~V both in
the sense of the low demography and Christian beliefs. Only equality
and democracy are left, and apparently, the government is going to
reform these spheres.
Armenia has been standing on the frontline of the global fight
since long. So far it has managed to survive and even throw away the
demographic assault by the Azerbaijani Turks started in the Soviet
era. And Europe could not but to notice it.
