First Deputy Chairman of the Batkivshchyna (Fatherland) Party, Oleksander Turchynov is convinced that the current Ukrainian authorities won't sign an association agreement with the European Union. He said it in an interview with Channel 5.

"Certainly, we cannot go to Europe and build totalitarian regime in the country. Europe can not have an association with the countries that failed to meet the recommendations of PACE, where there are no freedom and human rights, and innocent people are thrown in jail", - Turchynov said.

"In addition, it was said that version of separate status in the Customs Union of Ukraine is treated - 3 +1, I do not know what is 3 +1 or 1 +3, but I know what is the Customs Union, and neighboring Belarus, as a example, we can clearly see the prospects those who work in this direction. That is why we can not speak about the formats of the Customs Union and at the same time talk about the future of European integration", - he added.
