Armenia at a crossroads

Friday, October 5
The German ambassador to Armenia has suggested that if Armenia joins
the proposed Eurasian Union it might hinder their chances of joining
the EU. Armenia already belongs to the EU's Eastern Partnership
Program along with Georgia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova.
The German ambassador stated that by joining the Russian-backed
Eurasian Union Armenia might find it more difficult to comply with EU
regulations, particularly those involving free trade. Compliment with
all EU regulations is a prerequisite for any country wishing to join
the European Union.
