RESISTANCE MOVEMENT AGAINST ARMENIA'S JOINING THE CUSTOMS UNION
In the name of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, and the
sovereignty of the republic enshrined in the Constitution, we make
the following statement:
Serzh Sargsyan is an illegitimate president, who has come to power
outside of the democratic process, and as such, lacks the mandate
to represent the will of the Armenian people. His September 3rd
2013 announcement that Armenia would be joining the Customs Union
and participating in the creation of the Eurasian Union was an act
of national treason, which has put the country's sovereignty and
independence in danger. Since Serzh Sargsyan lacked the popular consent
of the people, as well as the explicit consent of the RA Government
and National Assembly, his decision in Moscow was nothing more than
a personal opinion, not a national decision.
If Armenia joins the Customs Union and Eurasian Union, our country will
be forced to forfeit its ability to make its own decisions, and will
instead be handing over this right to a supranational entity, a move
which explicitly violates the Armenian Constitution. Moreover, with
this decision, Armenia will be committing itself to an increasingly
tighter relationship with a totalitarian regime, with a complete
disregard for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and a regressive
economic system, based on exploiting natural resources.
We cannot allow the future of our and our coming generations, and our
right to live a dignified life to be undermined by an illegitimate
president's unconstitutional activities. Based on the absolute powers
of the RA Constitution and the national sovereignty it enshrines and
guarantees, we announce the beginning of a resistance movement.
