By announcing its readiness to join the Customs Union, Armenia
shut its entry to the European Union, but not locked it, and there
is still time to correct the wrong policy, Richard Giragosian,
political scientist, Director of the Regional Studies Center (RSC),
told reporters on Friday.
According to him, this decision is beneficial to Russia, but the
entire Armenian people will suffer from it.
“With the decision which was made in 4 days Armenia lost its
achievements of 4 years with the European Union. The EU was taken
aback by this decision. As a result, the EU will view Armenia as less
important, less reliable and less prepared. This is a loss Armenia
needs to retrieve,” Giragosian said.
