“Yes, now Armenia is faced with a choice. It is completely an artificial choice”,- so replied “Karabakh” committee member Ashot Manucharyan to the question of Aravot.am whether he shares the view that Armenia is now faced with the choice between the Eurasian Union, and the European Union. Continuing the theme, he emphasized,- “The authorities of Armenia and the public sector are facing with a choice, Armenians are faced with the choice. If Armenian people stand up, there will be no problem with the choice. We will put everyone into its place, and make them speak with us in an appropriate way.” We inquired to know what the way out of this dilemma is, Mr. Manucharyan answered.- “We understand the problems not in the right way, because what we are talking about, is not Armenia.” A. Manucharyan reminded of the following idea of one of the philosophers: “The European Union has nothing to do with Europe. Europe should remain far away from the European Union. Europe is the part of human civilization, which is generalization of spirit and mind created by mankind. Europe complemented the values and returned to humanity. Now Europe is thrown away, and the cliché system has been accepted, which is directed to one thing: to be a tool in the hands of the oligarchy to make money. We must work with Europe, the European Union should be thrown away.” To our specification whether he is in favor of the initialization of EU-Armenia Association Agreement, A. Manucharyan answered, – “I am against expansion of any kind of system. With its standards, this will lead to a drastic economic decline for Armenia. Both Europe and Eurasia should be different. Today, what they are suggesting, are dying things built on the world’s models of robbery. They are in a shock. We are dealing with Eurasia, whose bearers are working with the same cliché as the European Union, because they do not have their own concepts.”
