ARF MEMBER: EU SHOULD REVISE ITS ATTITUDE TOWARDS ARMENIA
May 15, 2014 | 20:59
YEREVAN. - The EU should revise its attitude towards Armenia, ARF
Dashnaktsutyun member Giro Manoyan believes.
The European leaders made a mistake by saying Armenia's accession to
Customs Union is incompatible with development of political relations
with EU, Manoyan said during a press conference on Thursday. Thus,
Brussels refused to ratify political part of the Association Agreement
with Yerevan.
"The West has much to think about," Manoyan said, noting that Europe
made miscalculation on Ukraine. ARF member noted that now Europe does
not admit they are also to blame for what is going on, and are wrong
on Armenia, too.
In this context, the visit of President Francois Hollande to
Yerevan can be considered as a positive move for normalization of
Armenia-Europe relations.
"Hollande seems to have assumed responsibility of finding new format
of cooperation between Armenia and EU, and if he managed to do so,
this would have positive impact on the both parties," Manoyan said.
