ACCELERATED SURRENDER OF STATEHOOD
The Armenian foreign ministry has issued a press release on the
meeting of the Armenian foreign minister and Commissioner Fule.
Nalbandyan said that Armenia wishes to develop close partnership
as much as it is appropriate for the EU and so that it would not
contradict Armenia's membership to the Customs Union.
This press release is unique for its concreteness and precise wording.
Usually the MFA's messages are deprived of concreteness. Moreover,
this time it also came in Russian translation.
There is information that texts on this issue are already written
in Moscow to fasten the MFA and not let it flee. According to the
same situation, the text of Serzh Sargsyan's declaration to join the
Customs Union was also written in Moscow at the last moment.
Apparently, Russia accelerated and unlike the EU it is not willing to
negotiate for 3.5 years. Yesterday the "pack of wolves", the Republican
Party unanimously approved Serzh Sargsyan's decision. The RPA has a
sufficient majority in parliament to accelerate ratification.
Moscow may have fixed the date of ratification - November 29. This
day is symbolic. In 1920, on this day, the Red Army and the Armenian
fifth column destroyed the Armenian statehood. Besides, this day was
fixed for the initialing of the Association Agreement with the EU.
>From now on all the texts will be written in Moscow. Russians do
not fancy spending time or observing ethics, especially in the case
of Armenians.
