YEREVAN. – The choice of Ukrainian people towards the European path of development is most likely related to economy, as Europe has different cultures and different living standards, said Anna Harutyunyan, chairman of the Ukrainian community of Armenia.

“Ukrainian community of Armenia is concerned over the developments,” she said. “We are worried not became of the political differences and are not trying to share political position, we are worried about Ukrainian people, the fact that Ukrainians were killed,” she said.

The society itself should protect its citizens from violence, killings and bloodshed, Harutyunyan emphasized.

The head of Ukrainian community said they are not dealing with politics but spreading culture and traditions of Ukraine and are receiving financial aid from the Armenian government.
