About Sargsyan-Putin meeting. `Serge Sargsyan's consent is at the
bottom of the visit'
August 31 2013
On September 3, Serzh Sargsyan is planning to have a meeting with RF
President Vladimir Putin. As announced by the president's press
office, cooperation in the systems of political, commercial and
economical, energy and humanitarian will be discussed at the meeting,
also other issues regarding integration processes in the CIS and
provision of security and stability in South Caucasus will be
discussed. With regard to this meeting, in the conversation with
Aravot.am, the Chairman of the ANC Foreign Relations Committee
Vladimir Karapetyan expressed his concern,-'It's quite a long time
that the Armenia's authorities have referred to the Russian side for
the organization of the visit and the visit did not turn out. It is
known that the answer of the Russian side was expressed by Putin's
visit to Azerbaijan. All of these pursued the goal to show the
discontent to Armenia with regard to recent moves. The matter is about
the document to be signed with the EU. Serzh Sargsyan could not manage
such a policy that was managed by RA presidents, ministries of foreign
affairs for the period of 20 years, the policy of complementarity and
balancing. And if we expand our relations with the EU, and the
European institutions, at the same time, we were expanding the
strategic partnership with RF to the same extent. Unfortunately, I
have to mention that today the issue of orientation is raised, and I
have a great fear that Serzh Sargsyan's consent to deviate Armenia
from the European path is at the bottom of the visit and the Russian
consent. I have these fears. And even if Association Agreement is
initialed, which is also under threat today, there are no guarantees
of signing at this moment. I'm not sure that there will be public
announcements, but the fact that there are dangers of European
integration, I predict it, there is information about it.' Vladimir
Karapetyan also said that everything should be done not to allow
Armenia deviate from the path of complementary and balanced policy.
