    THERE WILL BE NO RETURN TO SOVIET UNION - RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO ARMENIA

    November 15, 2013 | 19:31

    The countries joining Customs Union, including Armenia, will have to
    give away part of their sovereignty to supranational bodies, Russian
    Ambassador to Armenia said.

    In an interview with RFE/RL's Armenian service Ivan Volynkin assured
    that Armenia will not lose its independence after joining the Customs
    Union, adding that it would not be a return to the Soviet Union.

    "The Soviet Union is a thing of the past, and there will be no
    return to the Soviet Union with its positive and negative sides. I
    am absolutely certain that there will be no new USSR," Volynkin told
    RFE/RL's Armenian service.

    "These states will not lose their sovereignty in full. But they
    will undoubtedly have to give away part of their sovereignty to
    supranational bodies. This is what happens in all integration processes
    in the world."

    Ambassador Volynkin noted that after forming European alliance some
    of EU countries even "sacrificed some sectors of their industry and
    agriculture."

    "By the way, the Customs Union does not require such sacrifices.

    Moreover, Armenia's industry and agriculture will receive an additional
    impetus for development and use of the Eurasian market," added the
    diplomat.
