Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius said yesterday that Armenia boycotted its chances to sign the association agreement with the EU itself by declaring readiness to join the Customs Union.
The minister noted that the EU respected Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, but needed Armenia to choose which integration structure to join.
Linkevicius and 7 other foreign ministers warned that the any economic threats or political pressure against eastern partners for their strive to integrate in Europe were unacceptable.
Lithuania chairs the EU and will host the Eastern Partnership summit in November.
