The Russian media, particularly those that in all these 4 years have
been speaking critically of Medvedev's "modernization" of and have
been defending Putin's hard-line, are now aggressively promoting the
idea of â~@~Kâ~@~Kthe Eurasian Union.
The main argument of why the President of Armenia must agree to the
entry into the Eurasian Union becomes the possibility to appear in
The Hague. This is what the Russian media proposes hinting that Russia
may represent the March 1 "evidences" to The Hague after which Serzh
Sargsyan and others will be close to their Serbian counterparts.
So, soon the press may report incriminating evidence about Serzh
Sargsyan's direct involvement in the decision to impose emergency
order on March 1, 2008, or even direct instructions to shoot at
peaceful demonstrators. Maybe some other documents.
Such a behavior of the Russia media means that Serzh Sargsyan,
to some extent, resists and does not agree unconditionally to join
the Customs Union. Otherwise, why should they threaten? And in this
situation Sargsyan must feel the support of his society, opponents
of the Western community, which may neutralize the threat of The Hague.
This support will not be a panacea for Serzh Sargsyan, it will not
save him from election or criticism of domestic policy, but it will
enable Armenia to withstand the powerful pressure exerted by Russia.
Under this pressure the 20 years of independence, our common future
may be trampled, which will once again be held hostage of the Russian
plans.
Only Armenia has the right to send its president to The Hague. The
Armenian people will do it, if they deem it necessary.
