YEREVAN. – Taking into account its place in the world, Armenia is carrying out diplomacy in accordance with its history and geography, French Ambassador Henri Reynaud said during a discussion on Monday.

The diplomat believes Armenia's strategy is aimed at ensuring of security guarantees on one hand, and at providing economic development on the other, given the interrelation of these aims.
 
“This was probably the reason for Armenia's decision to join Customs Union that is a core of the Eurasian Economic Union, and on the other hand to confirm and deepen relations with the EU,” Reynaud said during the discussion entitled “Eurasian Choice of Yerevan and Armenia's European Prospects”.

The Ambassador recalled that Armenia's aspiration to European integration was confirmed by the statement adopted during the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius.
