Armenia's decision to join the Customs Union was made from the USA's
sanction, a member of the "Karabakh" committee, former adviser of the
first president of Armenia, Ashot Manucharyan, said at today's
press-conference.
"The European Union and Europe are two different ideas. The European
Union is nothing but a structure through which the USA exercise
control over Europe, and if Armenia signed an agreement with the EU,
it would be forced to reconstruct the power structure in the country
driving it towards the American system, which is not yet beneficial to
the USA and which we may avoid in case of joining the Customs Union",
- he said. He also added that such a decision was a surprise for the
authorities of Armenia, as in fact the active negotiations with the EU
for three years were ignored. The expert said that the decision to
join the Customs Union was adopted under Russia's strong pressure. The
Customs Union seems to be an economic union, but actually, it is a
geo-political one, which distributes the influence spheres at the
world arena.
"This decision will become the beginning of the new war between the
USA and Russia, but not its ending", - Manucharyan concluded.
