The Russian mass media are actively promoting the idea of Iran's
involvement in the Eurasian Union. Referring to the minister of
foreign affairs of Iran who said that his country could play an
important role in the Eurasian integration, Russian experts state
that Iran's involvement in the Eurasian project may strengthen it.
Besides the fact that Iran hardly meant the Eurasian Union proposed by
Vladimir Putin when it spoke about Eurasian integration, it should be
noted that Russia has lost hope to involve the post-Soviet countries
into this union. Force does not help either.
Georgia has passed a parliamentary resolution against integration
with Russia. In Moldova, the alliance supporting European integration
failed but it is attempted to restore now. Ukraine agreed to give
away its gas pipeline in order to avoid unions.
Only Armenia was left but after his meeting with Putin Serzh Sargsyan
immediately decided to go to Brussels. Apparently, Armenia disagreed
and Moscow has now decided to make friends with Iran.
A profound discussion of Iran's accession to the Eurasian union is a
meaningless campaign for this union. But the point is that Kremlin's
leadership, convinced of the stillbirth of this project, is unable
to refuse it. Either imperialistic ambitions are too strong or, as
they say in Russia, it is a shame to turn back from the path. The
Kremlin has decided to carry the dead fetus. Any obstetrician will
say how this story will end. The mother's body gets infected and dies.
The Kremlin leadership is unable to understand that forcing its former
satellites to support its idea will eventually repel them farther and
stronger. And if several years ago none of the post-soviet countries
except Georgia was hostile to Russia, now Putin has successfully make
everyone, even Armenia, their enemies.
Rejection of this idea will perhaps bring back the sympathy of the
post-Soviet countries with which Russia may integrate on equal terms.
By the way, some Russian experts have stated openly that a great
power means nothing in relations with sovereign countries.
Apparently, the Kremlin has decided to carry the dead fetus for some
more time trying to call for help the powerful Persian civilization
which is so self-sufficient that it does not need integration.
