"168 Hours": In the name of Armenian brandy, Armenia should be part of the Eurasian Union

Russian expert circles reportedly keep insisting on Armenia’s membership in the Eurasian Union, citing the Armenian brandy as a good justification for the country’s acceptance of such a proposal.

Otherwise, the Russians threaten Armenia to close their domestic market for the Armenian brandy, promising instead to double the production of the Degastan brandy, says the paper.

Whether the Russian imperial forces rely on brandy as the only tool of pressure or do they have other recipes for establishing a new Russian empire? Armenia wishes, of course, to sell its own product on the Russian market, but should it base its geopolitical choice on the brandy realization market while deciding to join the Eurasian Union."
