Experts from Russia, Georgia, Armenia and Moldova have gathered at an international conference of the Eurasian Choice Discussion Club in Moscow today to discuss prospects of Eurasian integration projects, the geopolitical situation on the post-Soviet space and economic progress.
Archil Chkoidze, leader of the Eurasian Choice – Georgia coalition, emphasized that the Georgian government had been agitating against Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union. In his words, the government is now falsifying history to make the West more popular. He believes that Georgia will have fewer problems selling products on the Eurasian market than the European.
Badri Nachkebia, head of the CIS Department Institute, is confident that cooperation with Russia does not necessarily reflect the demand for Eurasian integration. He believes that Georgia does not need to join any military blocs.
Aik Babukhanyan, a member of the Republican Party of Armenia, noted that the world was losing its unipolar system. He reminded that Armenia had always been trying to be friends with Russia and the West. Armenia considers the Eurasian Union to be a real microeconomic association to boost economies.
