RF DUMA VICE SPEAKER: RUSSIA, ARMENIA SHOULD FORM UNION STATE
- Russia and Armenia should form a union state, said Vice Speaker of the Russian State Duma. “If formation of a union with Belarus has slowed down, Russia should take up another direction. We should unite with Armenia, for example, or with any other friendly state,” said Lyubov Sliska, Duma Vice Speaker and member of United Russia faction, Regions.ru reports. The idea of Russia-Belarus-Armenia federal state first emerged in 1997. About 1 million of signatures were collected in Armenia in support of the initiative at that time, however no progress followed.
