– Russian President Vladimir Putin hopes that Armenia will join the
Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) soon. Putin has made a statement to this
effect after the EEU Treaty was signed in Kazakhstan’s capital,
Astana, on Thursday.

“We hope that Armenia will be able to become a full-fledged and
full-right EEU member after the Union is launched,” the Russian leader
said. A treaty on Armenia’s accession to the EEU “should be approved
and signed soon,” Putin believes.

Speaking at a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan proposed to sign a treaty on
Armenia’s entry in the EEU before June 15 so that that country would
become a full-fledged member of the union starting from 2015.

“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
