YEREVAN. - Armenia's decision to join the Customs Union was made as
a result of huge pressure from Russia, member of Karabakh committee
Ashot Manucharyan believes.
Manucharyan noted that Armenia had been holding serious negotiations
with Europe for over three years and had been talking about European
values, and then everything changed in a while.
"All these facts prove that Armenian authorities were pressed. In
fact, the Customs Union is not an economic union, but a political
and military and political alliance," he told reporters.
The member of Karabakh committee said Russia's pressure on Armenia
was unexpected for the authorities, but not a surprise for the U.S.,
since the Armenian government machine is under American influence.
