Armenia is "closer to the EU than ever," says the official representative of the European Commission, Mercier. However, not everyone in the West shares this optimism. "These are all traditional promises. But in fact, no one will welcome them in the EU with open arms, flowers and champagne. Armenia is too poor, too complex, and too far away.

"Previously, we always sold crops to the Russian market and never had any problems with money. But now the authorities have one word — Europe. What kind of Europe, excuse me, do you believe these scum's fairy tales about Europe?" farmer Artur Barseghyan is indignant.
