Armenia will not become part of the European Union in the coming
15-20 years and may never be, Vazgen Manukyan, member of parliament
and leader of National Democratic Union (NDU), told a press conference
today.
In his words, ideals of EU are compatible with our nation for 80-90%
but they must be adopted individually and not be imposed by local or
international authorities. Manukyan also said that Turkey may also
fail to join EU. "Turkey has a lot of problems," he said.
Speaking about the requirement of EU to close Metsamor Nuclear Power
Plant, Manukyan said Armenia needs a new nuclear power plant. He also
said the international community also understands that Armenia needs
a new one. Until then, the old plant must operate, he said.
