President's Moscow tour good opportunity to mark new cooperation
11:30 - 15.09.13
Serzh Sargsyan's scheduled trip to Russia is a good opportunity to
meet with the Armenians in the country, a political analyst has said,
as the president is expected to attend the opening of an Armenian
cathedral in capital Moscow.
`Russia is one of the countries with the richest Armenian community,
and the Armenian cathedral of a great significance for the local
Armenians. So I think it is a good opportunity to meet with our
compatriots residing in Russia. And it is a good opportunity,
considering the new realities in the cooperation, and the new
developments in terms of outlining new projects,' he told Tert.am,
when asked about the possible impact of Armenia's political U-turn
(the president's statement on the Customs Union membership) on future
development and the European Union's reaction to the move.
The expert noted that the coincidence of the landmark political moment
with the cultural event will be also useful in terms of reaching new
agreement or moving ahead with the previous ones with the Russian
side.
Asked whether the coincidence means that the president may make an
important political statement in the course of his visit, the expert
said it isn't absolutely necessary. `I don't think this coincidence
gives us enough grounds to have such expectations, but it is obvious
that a membership in the Customs Union will create new problems in
future in terms of the opening of our borders. I think those policies
will have their continuation. But I wouldn't, of course, link the with
the upcoming visit,' he said.
