Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius said yesterday that
Armenia boycotted its chances to sign the association agreement with
the EU itself by declaring readiness to join the Customs Union.
The minister noted that the EU respected Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan, but needed Armenia to choose which integration structure
to join.
Linkevicius and 7 other foreign ministers warned that the any economic
threats or political pressure against eastern partners for their
strive to integrate in Europe were unacceptable.
Lithuania chairs the EU and will host the Eastern Partnership summit
in November.
