ARMENIAN AUTHORITIES READY TO SIGN ANY DOCUMENT - NAIRA ZOHRABYAN
22:10 ~U 22.10.13
The current task is to sign a document at the Eastern Partnership
Summit in Vilnius on November 29, only to confirm the "both...and"
policy, Secretary of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Naira Zohrabyan
stated in Parliament on Tuesday as she spoke of Armenia's accession
to the Customs Union and of the EU-Armenia Association Agreement.
Numerous opinions have been voiced since September 3, particularly
the ones that the Association Agreement contains points on the loss
of sovereignty and on Nagorno-Karabakh, inadvisability of the Deep
and Comprehensive Free Trade Area Agreement (DCFTA) for Armenia,
because Armenian goods will not be competitive on foreign markets
for the next ten years.
Mrs Zohrabyan, who is has not seen the text of the Association
Agreement, raised the question as to why Armenia's authorities had
conducted 4-year-long talks with the EU if Armenia's integration into
the structure posed a threat to the country's sovereignty. Also, if
Armenia had never announced its accession to the Customs Union, any
other decision would have posed a threat to national interests. The
questions have so far remained unanswered, Mrs Zohrabyan says.
On her part, Armenian Parliament Vice-Speaker Hermine Nahdalyan said
that a document that would run counter to Armenia's interests can by
no means be signed anywhere.
Head of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) parliamentary group
Levon Zurabyan spoke of the Nagorno-Karabakh problems and said that
Armenia's authorities are preparing society for some concessions
on Nagorno-Karabakh.
The ANC group member Stepan Demirchyan spoke of Armenia's domestic
problems, such as criminalization of the state and public system,
social polarization demographic problems, brain drain and so on.
Many of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) group members spoke
of the bill on recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh's independence. The
bill was proposed by Head of the Heritage parliamentary group Zaruhi
Postanjyan.
The MP Naira Karapetyan noted that the people not directly involved
in the negotiation process cannot see the potential threats of this
step by Armenia. It may even result in hostilities.
