    REPUBLICAN MP: SITUATION IN UKRAINE IS A RESULT OF EU'S WRONG POLICY

    What is happening in Ukraine now is a result of the European Union's
    wrong policy towards the Eastern Partnership countries, says Artak
    Zakaryan, Head of the Parliament Committee for Foreign Affairs.

    Talking to reporters, Thursday, Zakaryan said that the EU has thrown
    the EaP countries into a dilemma of either Association with Europe
    or involvement into another union.

    "The interests of the EaP countries have been neglected from the very
    beginning. They were divided into 'Eastern and Western barricades',"
    Zakaryan said.

    The EU is well aware of that, he said. This is what made it offer a new
    'European Package.' The parliamentarian thinks that the situation
    in Ukraine has got out off control of both the authorities and
    the opposition. According to him, the EU wages a wrong policy also
    towards Armenia throwing the country into a dilemma: Customs Union
    and Association Agreement.

    His rival, a member of the Armenian Pan-National Movement Party
    Hovhanness Igityan disagreed with Zakaryan. He claims that it was
    Russia that threw Armenia into dilemma and not Europe. To recall,
    on 3 September 2013 Armenia preferred Russia's Customs Union to the
    Association Agreement with the EU despite 4 years of negotiations with
    the EU. The Armenian leadership offered simultaneous participation
    in both the unions, but the EU did not accept it due to contradictory
    statutes and regulations of the Association Agreement and the CU.
