Yerevan /Mediamax/. At the Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius, Armenian President became the witness of a hard talk between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, Spiegel International writes.

“They had gathered at a festive dinner in the former palace of Grand Duke of Lithuania, with the city of Vilnius getting ready for Christmas, along with leaders from the EU and Eastern European countries. The truffle pastry hadn’t been served yet when President Yanukovych started an incoherent talk about his country’s complicated relations with Europe on one hand, and Russia on the other. But at some point Merkel interrupted the Ukrainian President and brusquely told him he might as well stop talking. “You are not going to sign anyway”, she said brusquely. Armenian President, who was sitting beside her, looked at her in surprise”, Spiegel International writes.
