Armenia has to forget about the EU Eastern Partnership (EaP) project, said editor-in-chief of journal Russia in Global Affairs Fyodor Lukyanov at the Caucasus-2010 international conference held at the Congress Hotel in Yerevan today.
“At a time when the European Union is divided into countries pursuing their own interests (this opens up new possibilities, but it’s too early to speak of this), the Eastern Partnership promises Armenia and other countries neither money nor other benefits. Europe at this time doesn’t need the Eastern Partnership, when they have a blazing ‘southern partnership’ and from where comes an endless stream of migrants,” said the expert.
Modern Europe, according to Lukyanov, stands before the fact that the next generation of its inhabitants will be worse off than the current generation.
Note, the Eastern Partnership aims to bring together 6 states of the former Soviet Union: Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Belarus.
