PanARMENIAN.Net - Yerevan has responded to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's controversial remarks about how Armenia "can't escape" a union state with Russia and Belarus.

"Armenia can't escape it. You think anyone needs them? They have already seen it," Lukashenko said in an interview with Russian journalist Vladimir Solovyov.

The Armenian Foreign Ministry noted in its response that "such a unique geopolitical analysis" of the President of Belarus is primarily aimed at serving his own domestic political agenda and have nothing to do with Armenia and her foreign policy.

The Union State is a supranational organization consisting of Russia and Belarus, "with the stated aim of deepening the relationship between the two states through integration in economic and defense policy."

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
