A referendum should decide whether Armenia should join the Customs
Union or sign an Association Agreement with the EU, Hrant Bagratyan,
MP from the opposition Armenian National Congress, ex-Prime Minister
of Armenia, says on his Facebook page. To note, Bagratyan is currently
participating in an economic forum in Poland.
"I insist that such issues should be addressed by means of a
referendum. During the presidential election, I was the only
candidate calling for such an approach. Don't solve such problems
single-handedly. Take the people's opinion into account. Otherwise,
it will either be bad or bring shame on ourselves", says Bagratyan.
To recall, on September 3, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan confirmed
Armenia's intention to join the Customs Union and the process of the
formation of the Eurasian Union. Vladimir Putin supported Sargsyan's
decision and promised to contribute to Yerevan's accession to the
Customs Union in every possible way.
The Customs Union has been created within the Eurasian economic space
for trade and economic integration of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia
on the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
