    ARMENIA FACES CHOICE OF POLITICAL VECTOR - ALEXANDER VASILYEV

    20:50 27.08.13

    First Secretary of the Russian Embassy in Armenia Alexander Vasilyev,
    who participated in the roundtable 'Toward the European Union',
    commented on Armenia's intention to initial an association agreement
    with the European Union (EU).

    He noted that a busy autumn is ahead in terms of political vector.

    "I think the right choice will be made," he said.

    "Society is debating over integration. Many use mass media to claim
    that both the structures - the EU and the Eurasian Union - are
    complementary. But we actually see quite the opposite. Our western
    partners sometimes allow themselves speeches that do not reflect the
    reality. Let us not forget the Polish representatives' statements that
    the 'both...and' option is impossible, and choosing the 'either...or'
    option was a must," Vasilyev said.

    He also expressed concern over the secret content of the association
    agreement.

    "No one has seen the agreement. There are doubts about the terms
    they are concealing from society. Some officials and diplomats
    assume that the agreement contains tough terms. It is obvious that
    there are restrictions. We are concerned over that though Armenian
    society claims that the two structures are complementary. However,
    there are doubts that it is quite the opposite."
