    ARMENIAN PRESIDENT WANTS CLOSE TIES WITH BOTH RUSSIA AND EU

    Warsaw Business Journal, Poland
    June 26 2013

    President BronisÅ~Baw Komorowski met with President Serzh Sargsyan
    of Armenia on Tuesday during the latter's two-day visit in Poland.

    Armenia, member of the EU's Eastern Partnership program, is expected
    to sign an association agreement with the EU during the November EU
    summit in Vilnius. Armenia also has close ties with Russia.

    "It's impossible to be a part of two different economic spheres at
    the same time, you have to choose one," said President Komorowski,
    commenting on Armenia's plan to become an EU member state at an
    unspecified time in the future.

    "Our policy is based on the formula: EU and Russia, not EU or Russia,"
    responded Mr Sargsyan, adding that he's grateful to Poland for
    supporting Armenia in getting closer to the EU and that his country
    is the biggest beneficiary of the Eastern Partnership program, which
    was initiated by Poland and Sweden.

    Mr Sargsyan emphasized that he's not happy with the current state
    of business cooperation between Poland and Armenia and hopes it
    will improve soon. Both states mostly deal in foodstuffs, chemicals
    and mining.
