/PanARMENIAN.Net/ It’s not hard to understand that the EU and
U.S. interests differ, an Armenian expert said.
"Majority of European states are NATO members. At that Eastern Europe
is more pro-American than ‘Old Europe,’ which want to pursue its own
policy toward the Caucasus. The Eastern Partnership is vivid example
of this intention," Karen Bekaryan, head of European Integration NGO,
told a news conference in Yerevan today.
Armenia’s joining the European Union will bring together two
organizations – CSTO and NATO, according to him.
"This will result in disappearance of dividing lines. Armenia is
the only CSTO member sate in focus of the EU and U.S. Under the
circumstances, Yerevan stands a good chance to approve itself,"
Bekaryan said.
