DEVELOPMENTS IN UKRAINE RESULT OF EU'S WRONG POLICY - ARMENIAN MP
13:45 * 20.02.14
The EU Eastern Partnership initiative has from the beginning
implemented a wrong policy, which has resulted in the situation in
the six member-states, particularly in Ukraine.
Some interests were disregarded, and the nations split into "pro-east
and pro-west barricades," Chairman of the Standing Committee on
Foreign Relations, Parliament of Armenia, Artak Zakaryan told reporters
on Thursday.
"When the problem of option was raised and the EU was viewed as a
geopolitical project," the MP said.
That is, it was the 'either...or' option.
The recently submitted 'European package' is the best evidence that
the EU is well aware of the need to revise its own approaches.
Zakaryan regrets the developments in Ukraine which, he said, have
got out of control by both the authorities and the opposition.
Nevertheless, the recent political developments under the agreements
between the Ukrainian authorities and opposition inspire hopes for
a peaceful settlement of the crisis.
Armenian National Congress (ANC) party member Hovhannes Igityan does
not share the opinion that a wrong policy caused the failure of the
signing of the Association Agreement and the Deep and Comprehensive
Free Trade Area Agreement (DCFTA) by Armenia.
The issue of choosing between the Customs Union and the European Union
was raised by Russia rather than by the European Union, when Russian
FM Sergey Lavrov stated that the nations had to choose and be ready
to get the benefits promised by Russia.
"Serzh Sargsyan went to Moscow on September 3 and even members of
your party [ruling Republican Party of Armenia] would say 'no, we
are following our own course.' The same happened to Yanukovitch,"
Igityan said.
