Customs Union decision heralds new war - opinion
13:45 - 14.09.13
Armenia's decision to join the Eurasian Customs Union was made under
pressure to herald a new war, according to Ashot Manucharyan, a former
member of the Karabakh Committee.
`After several years of negotiations with the European Union, Armenia
decides all of a sudden to change its position.
`The Russian pressure was unexpected on our political arena, but it
wasn't a surprise to the forces that have authority over Armenia,' the
politician told reporters, pointing out to the United States'
influence.
According to him, all the political decisions of Armenia are
implicitly made by the US.
Manucharyan said that the struggle will continue in future, with the
United States trying to make Armenia an EU member in an attempt to
exercise an easier control over the country. `We must be very careful.
Europe is a very important trend for us, but it shouldn't be confused
with the European Union,' he noted.
