    ARAVOT: ARMENIAN POLITICIAN CRITICAL OF EURASIAN UNION PLAN

    A former member of the opposition Armenian National Congress, David
    Shahnazaryan, has described Russia's EU integration policies as a
    civilization exclave.

    In comments to the paper, he said the recent debate over the EU and
    the Eurasian Union is a the Kremlin's propaganda project.

    "Russia is trying in this way to place the European Union and the
    Eurasian Union on the same scales, but they are not absolutely
    equivalent. While the European Union is an accomplished institution
    built on universal human values, the Eurasian Union is a political
    project by the new empire - I would even say a civilization exclave
    project - whose future is dimmer than its present. Membership in the
    Customs Union is not in Armenia's interests; and not just for economic
    reasons. That restricts our sovereignty because the Customs Union
    documents already provide for membership in supra-state institutions,
    which conflicts with our Constitution," Shahnazaryan told the paper,
    adding that Russia is openly pressuring Armenia into joining the
    Eurasian Union and Customs Union.
