ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT TRANSFORMED TEXT OF TURKEY-ARMENIA PROTOCOLS - POLITICIAN
16:10 23.07.13
The EU Association Agreement is the modified version of the
Turkey-Armenia reconciliation protocols, according to the Marxist
Party's leader.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, David Hakobyan said he wouldn't
agree to sign the document if he were responsible for the process.
"The agreement is a diplomatic trap. What we see in the Association
Agreement are only two words: we'll open the border with Turkey and
carry on trade," he said, expressing criticism of the European set
of values.
Hakobyan stressed the importance of debating the issue nationally
before signing the deal.
He further spoke of the Russian authorities' recent aggression
against Armenia.
"[Foreign Minister] Sergey Lavrov called for returning five
territories. The second was the military supplies which [Russia] sold
to Azerbaijan, and the third was the humiliation of the Armenian driver
in court. But as an officer who served in the Soviet Army, I know very
well that it takes minimum several years - after the supplies' delivery
- to train soldiers using them. Russia hasn't yet supplied Azerbaijan
with such specialists, and they are waiting for our reaction," he said.
