ZHAMANAK: WE WANT ARMENIA TO LOOK TO THE WEST, SAYS US AMBASSADOR
09:37 * 15.10.14
The paper has talked to US Ambassador John Heffern over Armenia's
decision to accede to the Eurasian Economic Union.
Addressing President Serzh Sargsyan's September 3, 2013 statement
expressing the country's intention to join the Russia-led economic
bloc, the diplomat reportedly said that it is up to any state to
make decisions about membership in different supranational bodies. He
added that the US is more interested to see Armenia look to the West
sometime in the future.
Asked whether Armenia has made the right choice, the ambassador
replied that every country is free to decide on its own future. The
paper further quotes Mr Heffern as saying that he doesn't find himself
the right person to make judgments about the country's decision.
