Armenian Choice: Customs Union With Russia Vs EU

ARMENIAN CHOICE: CUSTOMS UNION WITH RUSSIA VS EU

The Messenger, Georgia
March 20 2013

The EU has once again warned the Armenian leadership that it
is impossible to be a member of the Customs Union and have the
free-trade agreement with the EU simultaneously, Head of the European
Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee Elmar Brok commented on Radio
Liberty. According to Brok, the EU free-trade agreement cannot be
signed with the country that is in alliance with the Customs Union
with Russia. Not only Armenia, but other countries that are members
of the Eastern Partnership should make their choice. If Armenia still
decides to join the Customs Union, the EU will have similar relations
with Armenia as it has with Russia.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
