PRESIDENT NOT BEHIND ARMENIA'S CUSTOMS UNION ACCESSION TEXT - ARAKELUTYUN PARTY
November 04, 2013 | 14:32
YEREVAN. - The political processes of Armenia are linked to the
September 3 announcement concerning the country's intention to join
the Customs Union.
Arakelutyun (Mission) Party Political Board member Manuk Sukiasyan
stated the aforesaid at a press conference on Monday.
In Sukiasyan's conviction, the incumbent authorities of Armenia can
"surprise" the country's society at any time.
"For about four years, they were preparing the Armenian society for
the integration and the initialing of the Association Agreement with
the EU. But one trip to Moscow was enough, and [President] Serzh
Sargsyan read a text whose writer is not him," Sukiasyan maintained.
In his words, it is unprecedented when a man goes to a meeting and,
subsequently, he reads a statement from paper.
"It is apparent that you are not the person behind at least its
initial version," Arakelutyun Party official argued.
In addition, Sukiasyan considered trivial and flawed the explanations
that this decision was made stemming from the need to resolve the
security matters.
"If the security matter is resolved by the help of other foreign policy
and military force, it is natural that a part of the sovereignty of
that country is lost," Manuk Sukiasyan stressed.
To note, following the talks that were held on September 3 in
Moscow between Armenian and Russian Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and
Vladimir Putin, Sargsyan had announced that Armenia plans to join
the Customs Union and subsequently engage in the formation of the
Eurasian Economic Union. Aside from Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan
likewise are members in the Customs Union. And in response to this
development, the European Union had stated that the signing of the
Armenia-EU Association Agreement and the Deep and Comprehensive Free
Trade Area agreement is now doubtful.
