YEREVAN. - Serzh Sargsyan must leave his position for the sake of
Armenia, leader of the Heritage party said.
Raffi Hovannisian said if the current internal and foreign policy
continues at the same pace, Armenia will become a third-rate country.
"By joining the Customs Union, Armenia will lose its geopolitical
importance, and will lose its independence to the extent that may not
even give meaning to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide,"
he told reporters.
At the same time, the opposition leader is confident that without
joining the Customs Union, democratic Armenia and democratic Russia
can develop their partnership.
"The decision to join the Customs Union was made individually, and
no member of the government led by the Prime Minister, not a single
member of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia spoke against it,"
Hovannisian emphasized.
The runner-up in presidential elections said his party has been and
remains a supporter of European values and signing of the Association
Agreement.
"Meanwhile, Armenia's joining the Customs Union under the current
conditions is unacceptable," he concluded.
