Armenian citizens should not allow the customs agreement to be signed
with Russia.
Joining a still-abstract Customs Union, with Russia, Belarus and
Kazakhstan confirmed onboard, is a disaster in the making and would
the worst thing the Armenian republic ever did in its 22 year history.
It would be tantamount to entering a screeching time vortex and landing
in the dark ages, complete with the classic communist slogans pasted
across the city walls and statues being re-erected glorifying the
days of the Soviet dream. Putin's dream is to bring it all back,
under a different guise, but all the same associated nonsense.
After 4 years of negotiations with the EU on signing the Association
Agreement and the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement, which
would have entered its final phase with a formal signing ceremony in
November, one man's abrupt decision should not lock Armenia's fate and
compromise its long-term sustainability and prospects for expanding
growth. The Armenian people themselves must decide their own future,
not someone who places his own personal interests over those of the
people he is supposedly serving.
