Friday, Sarkisian shouted the European Union to continue to deepen its relations with Armenia through a new framework for cooperation which would be “compatible” with the 
forthcoming accession to the Customs Union.
“We will take further steps with our EU partners, to create a legal foundation governing our relationship, on the one hand reflect the content of previous discussions between Armenia and the EU, and to the other will be compatible with other formats of cooperation, “Sarkisian said at a gathering of the Eastern Partnership program of the EU, which was held in Prague.
“Our conviction: no partner countries should be forced to pay a price because it decides to participate in one or another integration process. We do not make a choice between our allies we have as many friends as possible, “he said.
Sargsyan clearly alludes to the EU decision to abandon the planned association agreement with Yerevan following his unexpected decision last August. Some EU officials have repeatedly stated that the dominant component of the agreement is not “compatible” with the accession to the economic bloc led by Russia.
European leaders last fall rejected a proposal for an Armenian watered down version of the Association Agreement. Yerevan renewed the offer last month after quee Brussels signed the political segment of a similar agreement with Ukraine in solidarity with the pro-Western interim government in Kiev.
The Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt has excluded such a possibility, on March 23, citing Yerevan acceptance of the legitimacy of a disputed referendum in the Crimea led to the annexation of the region by Russia.
Then, four days later, Armenia voted against a pro-Ukrainian UN resolution. “Our vote at the United Nations has killed any chance of signing an association agreement,” said Alexander Arzumanyan, an opposition MP and former Minister of Foreign Affairs. “We stepped openly anti-European. ”
Another former senior diplomat said anonymously that many in Europe now consider Armenia as a “Russian satellite discredited. “He also said that the EU does not intend to sign a major political agreement with the Sarkisian government.
