FULE'S STATEMENT IS NOT A REASON FOR GALUST SAHAKYAN
Commissioner Fule's statement made on the eve is not a reason
for Armenia to consider stopping its work with the EU, said the
deputy leader of the RPA Galust Sahakyan. "Fule is responsible,
he is responsible for finishing the process, I think this is the
motivation of his statement. It has not been delivered to us as a
common official stance," he said.
In answer to the question whether the RA government is reluctant to
acknowledge that the EU does not want to pre-sign the Association
Agreement, Galust Sahakyan said, "It is not a wish, they are processes
that are approved by us and we continue to work. I think we will
achieve results." In answer to the question if there is hope for
pre-signing the Association Agreement, he said we are moving in that
direction, seeking for results.
Besides highlighting incompatibility of the Association Agreement and
the Customs Union Fule also mentioned that the EU learned about the
intention of Armenia to join the Customs Union on August 31. "Why,
we signed a free trade agreement with Russia in 2011, I don't see
any surprise."
