In a choice between the Customs Union and the European Union, Armenia
chose the CSTO, Caucasus Institute director, political scientist
Alexander Iskandaryan said at a news conference in Yerevan when
commenting on Armenia's decision to join the Customs Union.
"Of course, Russia can pressure the other countries which are
involved in the Vilnius process - Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia -
and get certain result. Instruments of pressure upon these countries
lay in the economic, financial and communication areas. However,
we differ from these countries because we have another format -
security. This is very important to us. We should take into account
the security factor, which is the CSTO. The Armenian authorities
could not but take it into account," Iskandaryan said.
