“Armenia’s European future is a myth, a fairy tale, under the guise of which they are selling us Turkification,” stated Armen Ashotyan, Vice Chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia.
“Armenia’s European future is a myth, a fairy tale, under the guise of which they are selling us Turkification.” “When Nikol Pashinyan spoke about Armenia’s European future and EU membership in the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, he and the MEPs were well aware that in half an hour they would vote on a very important document called the European Union Enlargement Strategy.
I found this document. It doesn’t mention a single word about Armenia’s prospects for EU membership, unlike in the Balkans, Moldova, and Ukraine, where this is stated in several places and in plain text. All that’s written about Armenia is that they welcome this stupid integration law adopted by the National Assembly and hope that if reforms continue and deepen, EU-Armenia relations will enter a transformative phase.
The MEPs were well aware that, while applauding Nikol’s spirited speech, in half an hour they would be voting on a document that didn’t mention a single word about Armenia’s prospects for EU membership. “Nikol Pashinyan will not be able to bring Armenia into line with European standards.” Nine years. The document states that countries that deny the genocide cannot become members of the European Union.
Can you imagine that today the Armenian authorities are effectively denying the Armenian Genocide, not only failing to seek its recognition abroad, but also punishing the director of the Genocide Institute within the country, removing him from office? “The European Union is not deceiving us, it is not promising us a European future, it is Nikol who is deceiving us, and the Europeans simply welcome this,” he noted.
