    According to Aram Safaryan, Those Who Oppose the Eurasian Integration
    to the European Integration Weaken Society

    `There is no disagreement on the political stage of the Republic of
    Armenia as to the fact that there ostensibly is a contradiction
    between the Eurasian integration and the European integration,'
    political analyst Aram Safaryan expressed this idea during a
    conversation with www.aravot.am.

    He stated that on August 8, when Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin met
    in the Kremlin, the Eurasian integration of the Republic of Armenia
    had been promoted as a result of their conversation. A. Safaryan
    informed that such discussions had taken place in Yerevan, St.
    Petersburg, Moscow and Minsk at the level of politicians and experts
    in the past few months, most of which the analyst participated in.

    Knowing about the details of the issue, Mr. Safaryan expressed an
    idea: `I think that those, who will try to oppose the European
    integration of the Republic of Armenia to Armenia's more active
    participation in the Eurasian process will just aim at confronting and
    dividing Armenian society into supporters of Europe and Russia, will
    cause a clash between them, make Armenian society weaker and
    unprotected to a certain extent. Everyone knows what Armenia expects
    from the European integration; it is to harmonize the political,
    social, economic and legal fields of the Republic of Armenia with the
    European standards. Our society doesn't have disagreements here. We
    can expect to participate in a new organization based on our security
    and geopolitical alliance in the Eurasian integration processes, if
    our society chooses that in 2013.'

    Mr. Safaryan made the following comment on the tendency of many people
    to compare the Eurasian Union with the Soviet Union: `Its
    reestablishment is not only impossible, but also meaningless. The
    multilevel processes that are in progress in the post-Soviet territory
    aim at consolidating post-Soviet peoples and states, creating
    conditions for them to live peacefully and breathe freely based on
    economic interest and a community of worldviews. If the way to do that
    is found, that megaproject will be successful.'

    We asked A. Safaryan to assess the internal political situation,
    particularly L. Ter-Petrossian's and G. Tsarukyan's not announcing
    their candidacies. He didn't wish to comment, explaining that as a
    political analyst, who had dealt with the issues of the Eurasian
    integration, he had often been abroad and hadn't always been able to
    follow the internal political developments.
