ARMENIA CHOOSING RUSSIA AS PART OF EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION: ARMEN DARBINYAN
YEREVAN, November 11. /ARKA/. Armenia is not to choose between the
Eurasian and European integration, rector of the Russian-Armenia
(Slavonic) University Armen Darbinyan said at a round-table discussion
on the Eurasian integration choice of Armenia.
Armenia is choosing Russia as part of the European civilization,
Darbinyan said.
The rector said Russia recorded a breakthrough in development over
the last years having turned into an attractive partner to Armenia.
“We have been and will always be with progressive Russia”, Darbinyan
said adding progress, cultural and Christian values are the basis of
the cooperation.
According to Darbinyan, there is potential for close and effective
cooperation between Armenia and Russia in the framework of the
Eurasian project.
Russian ambassador to Georgia and Armenia (2009-2013), director of
Caspian cooperation institute regional programs Vyacheslav Kovalenko
said Armenia may play a great role in harmonization of the Eurasian
and European integration modules.
Kovalenko also said Armenia will immediately benefit over 100 million
dollars from its accession to the Customs Union due to lifted customs
limitations. New jobs will be opened and security guarantees will
be provided.
The round-table discussion on Armenia’s Eurasian choice was held
on November 8 in the Slavonic University of Armenia by North-South
political center, history department of the Moscow State University
and politics and law department of the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic)
University. -0–
