TIGRAN TER-YESAYAN. "ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT AND THE CUSTOMS AGREEMENT WILL COLLIDE WITH EACH OTHER."
August 17 2013
"The meeting held in Baku between Ilham Aliyev and Vladimir Putin
at the first sight was economic, but we all understand that these
processes do not happen without the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, especially in the actions taken place around the situation
between us and Azerbaijan",- so characterized the director of "Forum"
Legal Center Tigran Ter-Yesayan in a conversation with Aravot.am
regarding the Aliyev-Putin meeting. He drew attention to the fact that
Aliev has raised issues of historic justice, and international rights,
rather than making bellicose statements. Mr. Ter-Yesayan has noticed
that Aliev has made legal questions. And Putin, according to the
Ter-Yesayan, has raised the issue that the Karabakh problem should
receive exclusively political solution. Mr. Ter-Yesayan considers
remarkable the fact that the meeting took place at the time of the
event and notes,- "The problem should be resolved not in the legal,
but economic and political platform, the right remains in far away
plan. Whether it is beneficial to us or not, depends on where we
will be. Here, economy and politics are inseparable from each other,
a strong clash of economic interests on economic interests is going
on and the economic interests will be solved through political issue.
Wherever Karabakh problem will be, return of refugees, friendly
relations with each other also depends on it, because we also have
the refugee problem. They will improve their economic situation with
us, or vice versa, our government must take this into account. Here,
the problem of solving the political problem based on the economic
interests is going on." Tigran Ter-Yesayan also referred to initialing
process of the EU-Armenia Association Agreement. He, in particular,
conveyed the following: "I do not support signing of the Association
Agreement, as we actually will not become an EU member, nor be a
member of NATO. Association Agreement is counterbalance of the Customs
Agreement, they will collide with each other. It is impossible in
this status. RF will do everything that the Republic of Armenia has
a way to RF through Azerbaijan. Here, there are Customs interests
for RF, too. At that time, Armenia cannot say that it can not sign
the agreement because there is no border."
