YEREVAN, MAY 3, ARMENPRESS. Leaders of the EU member states are likely to meet for a summit in Brussels on May 28 after the European Parliament election, officials said, Reuters reported.

The EU leaders will discuss their preferences for who will succeed Jean-Claude Juncker as president of the European Commission.

Parliament, which will convene on July 2 after being elected on May 23-26, is pushing the European Council of national leaders to nominate Juncker’s successor from among the lead candidates of winning parties. But many national leaders are reluctant to accept this so-called Spitzenkandidat process.

European Council President Donald Tusk is likely to announce plans for the special summit during a gathering of leaders in Sibiu, Romania next week.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
