September 17, 2013 | 12:42
YEREVAN. - A sole decision on joining the Customs Union without
clarifying Karabakh's future is unacceptable, Armenian opposition
leader said.
Raffi Hovannisian, who was the main rival of Serzh Sargsyan during the
presidential race, said the Armenian authorities usurped power which
affects internal policy and will lead to disastrous consequences in
foreign policy.
Talking during the press conference on Tuesday, Hovannisian assured
reporters that most Armenians share his position.
"This summer I visited two regions where I held meetings with local
residents who offered to expel the current authorities, while some
people even offered to exterminate them," he told reporters.
Hovannisian believes Armenia's "independence and freedom is
threatened", therefore it is necessary to find the way out of this
situation.
The decision to join Customs Union was announced by Armenian president
on September 3.
