YEREVAN. - The Armenian authorities themselves appointed Vahan
Hovhannisyan knowing all too well that he has his own views.
Opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party Supreme Body member and
ARF National Assembly Faction leader Armen Rustamyan stated the
abovementioned during a press conference on Tuesday.
He reflected on ARF Bureau member and MP Vahan Hovhannisyan's
appointment as Armenia's Ambassador to Germany.
"We will not change our views, we will not be fettered. This
appointment will in no way fetter ARF in its policy," he noted.
Rustamyan also stated that a completely new situation has arisen in
Armenia after September 3 in Moscow where, following the talk between
Armenian and Russian Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin,
Sargsyan had announced that Armenia plans to join the Customs Union and
subsequently engage in the formation of the Eurasian Economic Union.
As per the opposition MP, Armenia's foreign policy vector has changed
as a result of this announcement, and Armenia is now heading toward
the Eurasian Union, which is forming a geopolitical pole whose axis
is Russia and China.
"Armenia truly had no alternative today. We will strengthen what we
have, since we have an energy and military security issue," he stated.
Armen Rustamyan also noted that the development of Armenian-Turkish
relations is not beneficial for Russia. As per the ARF official,
if these relations develop, Russia will have nothing to do in the area.
