Manucharyan: Armenia-EU Association Agreement will be a slap to Russia
Currently, Armenia is facing growing challenges, former member of Karabakh committee Ashot Manucharyan told reporters in Yerevan.
“Europe and Russia have become major challenges for Armenia, but the biggest challenge is the situation in Armenia,” he said.
The speaker stressed that Armenia should maintain friendly ties with Russia.
“Armenia’s signing the EU Association Agreement will be a slap to Russia, and will lead to a response from Russia,” Manucharyan said.
According to him, Russia has understood that gas could later be sold for market prices to Armenia as well as the issue of Armenian migrants in Russia could be raised, which would be a deadly blow to Armenia.
