Secretary of the Heritage party Styopa Safaryan regrets that Armenia's
authorities have brought the country to the point of losing its
sovereignty and right to choose strategic partners.
"It is most dangerous. All the forces concerned over Armenia's national
interests must stop this process," Safaryan told a press conference on
Armenia's choice between the Customs Union and the European Union (EU).
Joining the Customs Union will disturb Armenia's foreign policy
balance.
"One thing is clear: we are facing a new reality. We must not contrast
an Association Agreement with the EU with the Customs Union.
By signing the Association Agreement with the EU Armenia will not
disturb its foreign policy balance, whereas it will do so by joining
the Customs Union," Safaryan said.
Because of Armenia's geopolitical location the country's political
and military security has to date been guaranteed due to the balance
between external forces, with Russia being one of them and the EU
being the rest, Safaryan said.
