YEREVAN, MAY 31, ARMENPRESS. EU leaders, obsessed with the idea of instant and total integration, failed to notice that ordinary people, the citizens of Europe do not share the Euro-enthusiasm, “Armenpress” reports, President of the European Council Donald Tusk said during the 40th anniversary of European People's Party (EPP).

“Disillusioned with the great visions of the future, they demand that we cope with the present reality better than we have been doing until now. Today, Euro-scepticism, or even Euro-pessimism have become an alternative to those illusions. And increasingly louder are those who question the very principle of a united Europe”, he stated.

“The spectre of a break-up is haunting Europe and a vision of a federation doesn't seem to me like the best answer to it”, Tusk said.

“As the President of the European Council I want to start an honest and open debate on the subject”, Tusk highlighted.
