Haykakan Zhamanak: St. Petersburg document first step towards
re-establishing Soviet Union
10:53 - 08.12.12
The protocol concluded in St. Petersburg, Russia this Monday is said
to be more serious than can be imagined.
The document signed upon the initiative of the United Russia party on
the sidelines of the Eurasian Integration in the 21st Century summit
is actually the first step towards re-establishing the Soviet Union,
says the paper, noting that the ruling Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) has also joined the agreement.
The next step will reportedly be the signing of a memorandum of
understanding (January, 2013), a move expected to mark the beginning
of what is thought to be the neo-USSR.
`Ruling parties bear responsibility for the integration process
towards creating a Eurasian union,' Sergey Zheleznyak, a deputy
secretary general of Russia's riling party and a deputy spokesperson
for the Russian State Duma, was quoted as saying.
`It is particularly noteworthy that the upper circles of the RPA do
not have a unanimous opinion on the document,' the paper says,
commenting on the meeting and the subsequent developments.
It says further that it contacted PM Tigran Sargsyan for comment, but
he turned out to be unaware of the document. A vice speaker of the RPA
faction in parliament, Galus Sahakyan, has in turn dismissed the
report about the signing of any protocol.
`The meeting was just fixed there by us because there was a problem
and an intervention related to our national affairs, that's why [the
discussions] were rescheduled to be resumed in future ...,' he was
quoted as telling the paper.
`This demonstrates that President Serzh Sargsyan has evidently
embarked on a new process with Russian president Vladimir Putin ahead
of the presidential election,' the paper says, adding that the outcome
may be fatal to Armenia.
