Both Moscow and Brussels fully understand Yerevan's policy, Vice
Speaker of Armenian Parliament, Spokesperson for the ruling Republican
Party of Armenia (RPA) Eduard Sharmazanov said following the sessions
of the Council and the Supreme Body of the RPA, when commenting on
some politicians' opinion that Armenia's foreign political agenda is
currently turned aside by both Europe and Russia.
Sharmazanov recalled the latest statement of Ambassador Traian
Hristea, Head of the European Union Delegation to Armenia, who said
that Europe's doors have never been closed and will never close for
Armenia. "I am glad to say that both Brussels and Yerevan fully
understand the policy of Yerevan. We will continue promoting
cooperation with our strategic partner Russia and Europe in
implementing political reforms", said Sharmazanov. He stressed that
Armenia's accession to the Customs Union and the dialogue and
political reforms within the frames of the EU do not run counter to
each other but are complementary processes.
When summing up the results of the CSTO Summit in Minsk, Sharmazanov
stressed that the heads of all the three member states of the Customs
Union came out for Armenia's accession to that organization. He added
that all of the Customs Union countries have the right to veto, but
none of them used that right. Sharmazanov pointed out that the
roadmap on Armenia's accession to the Customs Union will most likely
be ready by December 2013.
