Brussels, Jumada I 17, 1436, March 08, 2015, SPA -- The European Union should have its own army, the leader of the bloc's executive said in an interview published Sunday, reviving the long-debated idea amid fresh tensions with Russia, dpa reported. "Such an army would help us to shape a common foreign and security policy and to seize together Europe's responsibility in the world," European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker was quoted as saying by the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag. "You do not have a European army to deploy it immediately. But a common army of Europeans would convey to Russia that we are serious about the defence of EU values," he added. --SPA 14:29 LOCAL TIME 11:29 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
