Armenia must gain Russia’s bigger respect – expert

Head of the Regional Studies Center dubbed Eurasian Project as a program developed by an individual with Soviet psychology.

Richard Giragosian hailed Armenia’s steps to establish long-term cooperation with Europe, whilst naming the Eurasian Project a mere return to the Soviet Union.

The expert noted that Russia remains an indispensable partner for Armenia, and ties with the EU won’t affect them. “Armenia is Russia’s only ally in the region. It must take steps for gaining Russia’s bigger respect,” Mr. Giragosian said.
