YEREVAN. - "I have great respect for the Prime Minister of Armenia
[Tigran Sargsyan], but I would advise him to carefully read the
agreement which he wanted to sign with the EU."
Sergey Glazyev, who is former Executive Secretary of the Customs
Union and advisor to the President of the Russian Federation, told
the aforesaid to Aravot daily.
"We asked Mr. Glazyev how they were preparing to work with an official
[i.e., Tigran Sargsyan] who was against, in principle, Armenia's
inclusion in this system [i.e., the Customs Union].
'"Had the Prime Minister of Armenia carefully read what he was
preparing to endow to Brussels, that he was preparing to renounce
Armenia's sovereignty, [and] subordinating it to trade and economic
relations, I believe he would have reviewed his methodology,'" Aravot
