YEREVAN, JUNE 13, ARMENPRESS: Armenia should learn lessons from the
history and not put trust in the external forces. This was stated by
the Director of the Regional Studies Center, the political analyst
Richard Giragosyan at the seminar "EU association agreement. Security
Challenges and Opportunities" held on June 13.
"We should never put our trust in USA, Russia or the West. In the
first place we should put trust in ourselves", - said the Director
of the Regional Studies Center, as reported by Armenpress.
The political analyst believes that the history has showed that in
different times, putting the hope on the external forces, Armenia
has always suffered and had big losses.
Richard Giragosyan stated that in the issue of the signing of the
Association Agreement, the summit, to be held in Vilnius, is the
easiest stage, adding that a bigger issue is the next day of the
summit, when Armenia will take the responsibility to implement
the requirements of the EU Association Agreement. The Director of
theRegional Studies Center and the political analyst Richard Giragosyan
noted that in that case Armenia will not have any alternative and
should make considerable reforms.
The discussions over the Armenia-EU Association Agreement were launched
since July 19 2010 in Yerevan.
