ARMENIA SHOULD 'CALL EUROPEAN OFFICIALS TO ORDER' - PARUIR HAIRIKYAN
18:13 ~U 22.11.13
Chairman of the National Self-Determination Union (SDU) party Paruir
Hairikyan stated that Armenia should "call European officials to order"
as they must honor their commitments to Armenia.
"We should remind their diplomatic missions that the [Armenian]
president did much by stating [Armenia's willingness to join the
Customs Union - ed.]," Mr Hairikyan said at a discussion on Armenia's
foreign policy challenges.
With respect to official Yerevan's statements that Armenia does
not reject cooperation with the European Union (EU), he noted that
Armenia's authorities originally stated their unwillingness to refrain
from initialing an Association Agreement with the EU. Mr Hairikyan's
proposal is that the EU invite Armenia to initial an Association
Agreement at the Vilnius summit, "for us to see the Customs Union's
behavior."
Heritage party Vice-Chairman Armen Martirosyan shares the opinion
that Armenia's accession to the Customs Union is President Serzh
Sargsyan's wish rather than that of the Armenian people. During the
presidential election campaign or during the parliamentary election
campaign, Serzh Sargsyan never announced his intention to state his
willingness for joining the Customs Union.
"The presidential election was rigged. He is de facto president, but
he does not enjoy popular confidence to state the Armenian people's
aspirations," Mr Rustamyan said.
