7 August 2013 - 9:34am Vyacheslav Kovalenko, Russian Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary Ambassador to Georgia (2006-2008) and Armenia
(2009-2013), has commented on Armenia's choice of the EU or
the Eurasian Union as the course of its further development. The
ex-ambassador said that the association agreement of Armenia and the
EU was a large document for trade-economic relations and excluded
points on visa-free regime.
The document coordinates the EU position in foreign policy and border
security.
At the same time, Armenia was offered to join the Customs Union,
Eurasian Union and other Eurasian projects. The EU criticized the
projects Armenia could join, Kovalenko reminded.
The official added that the document will be signed in Vilnius in
November. It would be a step towards Western states, but the question
around the Eurasian Union was still topical.
