PUTIN URGED ARMENIAN PRESIDENT TO CUSTOMS UNION WITH KGB DOSSIER: UKRAINIAN MP

"Russian President Vladimir Putin during the last negotiations
sat around the table, smiled, pulled out a dossier from the KGB
archives from under the table, and said to Ukrainian President
Viktor Yanukovych: 'Well what, Viktor Fyodorovich, you're going to
Europe and all of Ukraine will read this dossier? Or will Ukraine be
in the Customs Union?' And a miracle happened: Yanukovych and his
party stopped European integration," said Ukrainian Batkivshchinya
(All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland") party MP Aleksander Bryhynets today,
in conversation with the Russian Regnum news agency.
According to the parliamentary deputy, finding himself in a similar
situation was Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, who suddenly abandoned
European integration in favor of the Customs Union. "Why did Yanukovych
drastically change his position after meeting with Putin?
Several months ago, a similar thing happened with Armenia's president,
when he met with Putin and changed his position," said Bryhynets.
Earlier, Chair of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Rybak
closed the special meeting and said that the three matters relating to
"European integration" that were submitted for consideration are not
ready. "The bill on the possibility of prisoners being treated abroad,
unfortunately, has not been prepared by the parliamentary ad-hoc
working group. The other two initiatives, [the law] on the [general]
prosecution and [the law] on improving the legislation on holding
elections, likewise are not ready. They need so many amendments that
they need to be discussed for months in the committees," said Rybak.
Adoption of these three laws was the EU's strict condition for signing
the Association Agreement. At the same time, Prime Minister Mykola
Azarov said that Kiev is moving from the EU to Russia. "Ukraine
cannot refuse to cooperate with Russia, since there is no source of
compensation for the losses incurred by making such a move," said
Ukraine's PM.
