WE ACCEPT AND RESPECT ARMENIA'S DECISION TO JOIN CU - POLISH DIPLOMAT
May 16, 2014 | 12:44
YEREVAN. - I am confident that Armenia's decision to join the
Customs Union (CU) was taken as a result of an in-depth analysis,
Poland Ambassador to Armenia ZdzisÅ~Baw RaczyÅ~Dski said at a press
conference on Friday.
"[And] we accept and respect it," the diplomat stressed. At the same
time, however, he noted that joining a union is not an end unto itself.
"It must serve the country's development and the welfare of the
people," RaczyÅ~Dski added.
Responding to the remark that Armenia stands ready to sign the
political section of the European Union (EU) Association Agreement
and the French president recently highlighted the need for a specific
approach on this matter, the ambassador noted that one question needs
to be answered: What does Armenia need in EU? Does it need solely
the document, or its content, association, and form?
"He [the France president] spoke about the process," the Polish
ambassador specifically said.
In this context, ZdzisÅ~Baw RaczyÅ~Dski stated that the Armenian
authorities say they will closely cooperate in those domains whose
provisions do not contradict with the CU.
