September 25, 2013 | 12:26
It is not that Europe lost Armenia, but rather Armenia lost its
European prospect; this is the correct approach.
Elmar Brok, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European
Parliament and Vice-Chair of the European People's Party, told the
aforesaid toRFE/RL Armenian service.
"And Armenia had this loss because of an incredibly great pressure
by Russia, which was pressuring with the security matter," he added.
"This is why I have to say that such pressures by Russia, to prevent
the countries' sovereign decisions to join the union of their choice,
is simply unacceptable," Elmar Brok stated.
To note, following the talks that were held on September 3 in Moscow
between Armenian and Russian Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir
Putin, Sargsyan had announced that Armenia plans to join the Customs
Union and subsequently engage in the formation of the Eurasian
Economic Union.
