Eurasian Economic Union Project Won't Become a Reality, Says Jirair

The Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) is a stillborn project -- it will not
become a reality, Pre-Parliament member, Karabakh War veteran Jirair
Sefilian said in an interview with Hetq.am, commenting on Armenian
Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan's statement that Armenia will become a
full member of the EEU on January 1, 2015.
"The words of any representative of the regime, including the
aforementioned man, have no value. They have repeatedly proven this.
Their ringleader doesn't consider it necessary to inform his gang
about the orders received from his foreign owners, much less discuss
them with them. On the other hand, it's obvious that the matter of
Armenia's accession is delayed, which itself should be considered a
positive circumstance. However, the reason for these delays,
unfortunately, is not Armenia's sovereign position, since a sovereign
Armenia doesn't exist for Russia today," he said.
In Sefilian's opinion, the main reason for the delay is the "Azerbaijan factor".
"Russia seeks to persuade or oblige Azerbaijan to join the EEU and, in
all likelihood, the Russian side has decided that Armenia's entry into
the EEU must be together with Azerbaijan. Even if Azerbaijan doesn't
officially announce about joining the EEU, only after a verbal promise
from its leadership is received will Armenia enter this union. I think
the delays in the process of Armenia joining the EEU will continue and
one day we will hear that this project has vanished"
"At the same time, we have to be very careful and vigilant, since
though the EEU project is stillborn, Russia, nevertheless, draws us in
the latest Russian-Turkish dalliance taking place in that process, so
that it can trade with Turkey and Azerbaijan at our expense. Russia
seeking to destabilize the region and introducing troops in Artsakh
for this purpose is not ruled out," he said.
