YEREVAN. - Zhamanak daily spoke with European Parliament's European
Conservatives and Reformists Group member, European Union (EU)-Armenia
Friendship Group member, British politician Charles Tannock.
Below is an excerpt from the interview.
"There is information that Poland has suspended the funding of
some projects inArmenia, in the case when numerous international
experts claim that the EU, the EU countries need to assist Armenia
at a greater strength, to weaken the country's dependence on the RF
[i.e., the Russian Federation]. Does this mean that Armeniais now a
[Russian-led] Customs Union impact zone?
"Many of my Polish colleagues have repeatedly reiterated that the
EU should not close its doors in the help and assistance rendered to
Armenia, and continue to fund a variety of programs and reforms that
are carried out in Armenia, together with the EU. I, too, hope that a
new cooperation format, maybe a new version of the [EU] Association
Agreement--but without the DCFTA [i.e., the Deep and Comprehensive
Free Trade Area pact]--, will be worked out some time later."
