ARMENIA'S STEP SHORTENED GEORGIA'S WAY TO ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT WITH EU - ARNOLD STEPANYAN
16:54 17.09.13
Armenia's decision to join the Customs Union dramatically shortened
Georgia's way to an Association Agreement with the European Union
(EU), Arnold Stepanyan, Chairman of the Georgia-based Multinational
Georgia NGO, told Tert.am.
"Because it is clear to all the nations, including Europe, that other
states may be pressed like Armenia," Stepanyan said.
A major part of Georgia's society is for economic relations with
Europe.
In this context, Stepanyan rules out that Georgia following Armenia's
scenario.
The Haykakan Zhamanak (Armenian Times) daily reported that Georgian
President Mikheil Saakashvili stated that "the Eurasian community
is rampant corruption, absence of authorities' accountability to the
public and pressure on minorities. Eurasia is jailed oppositionists,
homeless boys, oligarchic economy, and driving licenses for money."
That was President Saakashvili's response to Premier Bidzina
Ivanishvili's statement that Georgia would one day join the Customs
Union.
