January 17, 2013 - 11:20 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc
member Davit Shahnazaryan deemed the Eurasian Union as Moscow's
campaign project, helping Russia create a bloc tantamount to the EU,
Aravot daily reports.
In conversation with the paper's reporter, Mr. Shahnazaryan noted the
EU as an institution guided by universal human values, dubbing the
Eurasian Union a political model of a new empire with vague future.
"Joining the Customs Union won't favor Armenia's interest. It will
restrict the country's sovereignty," the ANC member said, adding that
Russia keeps pressing Armenia into joining the Eurasian Union.
