European Union has officially declared that it will not sign the
initial agreement with Armenia with regard to its association
membership in the EU. Press secretary of the European Commissioner
for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy, Peter Stano, stated
that this is the final decision of the EU because Armenia has decided
to join the Customs Union. Stano added that the EU is now trying to
find the solutions on how to continue relations with Armenia. It was
on September 3, 2013 when Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan announced
during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow,
that his country would join the Russian-led Customs Union and later
its Eurasian Economic union. Armenia hoped it would benefit from
joining the European and Russian unions simultaneously, but in vain.
