Hovsep Khurshudyan. `Our security has never been so much endangered as now.'
September 21 2013
`Heritage' party spokesman Hovsep Khurshudyan, in the interview with
Aravot.am, did not exclude that tomorrow we might celebrate the last
Independence Day. `Nothing is excluded. Putin may wake up in Russia
and decide that it's time for Armenia to enter the zone of the ruble,
it is the time that at a larger scale offices operate here, which will
take our countrymen to work in Altay. Russia, as you know, is in need
for workforce. If everything is going to be decided in the Kremlin as
to what should happen in Armenia, how it should react in this or that
issue, it would naturally mean that the preservation of the national
flag and anthem would merely be circumstances of formal character.'
Hovsep Khurshudyan noted that all serious experts who express
objective opinion about the entry into the Customs Union rather than
trying to, in every way, justify the President's Sept. 3 decision by
bootlicking the authorities, are saying that there would be price
increase as a result of joining the Customs Union. `Just at least with
regard to rates of customs duties, you know that it is pretty liberal
regime in Armenia, low rates of customs duties unlike the RF. If we
are going to join the CU, of course, all the products will
considerable increase. Migration will increase drastically. To
maintain their seats, these authorities, seems, they are not going to
stop before anything.' The justification for the authorities that
entering into the Customs Union is a necessity for security reasons,
Hovsep Khurshudyan so commented.- `Our security has never been so much
endangered as now, when you give all your security tools to one
country, and there is no diversification that you will be able to at
least balance you security with the West, South, and in all
directions. You have already exposed your safety to danger. If Putin,
the Kremlin has to decide the size of your safety, I'm sure that this
person does not feel great love toward Armenia, but towards his
interests. If, tomorrow, he decides that Aghdam is not our homeland,
and say, let's hand it over to Azerbaijan, especially when Azerbaijan,
in exchange, can buy several tens of billions of other products from
the RF at high prices, he will go for it. If he can increase the
well-being of his country on the account of Armenia, we will not be
able to do anything because we are completely given to the RF's
expression of will. I do not think that our security, in this case, is
somehow provided. How can a country ensure our security that sells
billions of dollars of weapons to our enemy, that is not hiding the
fact that it will attack on us. I do not believe that such a country
has any interest in providing our security.' Hripsime JEBEJYAN
