October 30, 2013 | 19:14
Moscow is calling on the European Union to find a form of interaction
with CIS states that will not force them to choose between Russia
and EU.
Grigory Karasin, Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, said the EU must
seek a form of interaction that will not force CIS states to make
an artificial, often a false choice, to be either with EU or Russia,
RIA Novosti reported.
"Our neighborhood should be a space of fair and mutually beneficial
cooperation without dividing lines, not a ground for geopolitical
games around the so-called 'focused states'," Karasin said in a
statement during the international conference.
Russia is attentively following the developments around Eastern
Partnership project aimed at getting closer with Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Georgia, Moldova, Belarus and Ukraine.
