Was there a proposal for  Armenia to join the Union State? The  question lingers in the air

ArmInfo.The President of Belarus himself spoke about this publicly, the Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Alen Simonyan pointed out on May 19 in a conversation with journalists commenting on the statement made by  the 2nd President Robert Kocharyan that Belarus and Russia never offered Armenia to join the Union State.

"In politics, it is common for things to be said indirectly instead  of directly. Was it necessary for the President of the Russian  Federation to make us a public proposal? No? And the President of  Belarus spoke about it," the Speaker of the National Assembly of  Armenia noted.  Alen Simonyan also  said that the recently elected  Mayor of Gyumri Vardan Ghukasyan, who is "supported by Robert  Kocharyan,"  openly stated that he is in favor of Armenia joining the  Union State with Russia, following the example of Belarus.
