IF EUROPE WANTED US TO BECOME ITS FRIEND, IT SHOULD HAVE MADE INVESTMENTS - ARMENIAN SOCIOLOGIST

YEREVAN. - About 40-50 percent of Armenia's population has always
been pro-Russian, and 20-25 percent of the population is pro-European.
Sociologist Aharon Adibekyan stated the above-said during a press
conference on Saturday.
In his words, the US comes in third and Iran is fourth, but they have
switched places in recent years.
"Russia has large sums of investment money, [and] it has to take care
of its money. If Europe wanted us to become its friend, it had time;
it should have made investments. And if this territory is risky for
it, let it solve the Karabakh issue," Adibekyan noted.
The sociologist also stated that the Customs Union is perilous in
terms of the creation of the Eurasian Economic Union, since this will
become a new, super "continent," which frightens Europe.
"When Russia is alone, it is weak, [but] when it tries to enter with
a metastasis, it gets stronger," he said.
Aharon Adibekyan added that Europe quietly accepts what Armenia says
now, since it has understood that the country has no other choice.
