DMITRY MARTIROSYAN. "MOSCOW JOINS THE EURASIAN UNION WITH THE CRIMEA."
May 30 2014
"Eurasian Union is not only an economic but also political structure
with 170 million market, to which our country's accession incurs not
only from Armenia's, but, first and foremost, Russia's geopolitical
interests," said Dmitry Martirosyan, responsible for SDHP political
office, in the conversation with Aravot.am, referring to the events
evolved yesterday at the plenary session Eurasian Supreme Economic
Council in Astana. Recall that yesterday, the presidents of Russia,
Belarus and Kazakhstan signed an agreement on the Eurasian Economic
Union in the capital of Kazakhstan. The meeting was also attended
by the President of Armenia. In his speech, Serzh Sargsyan said in
his speech that "there are only 2-3 issues left on which mutually
acceptable decisions have already been made at an expert level,"
and had asked to fix the deadline of signing the agreement according
to which the Republic of Armenia will join the Agreement on the
Eurasian Economic Union by June 15. And by July 1, Armenia will
sign the agreement of the EU accession. The President of Kazakhstan
had put forward a condition on Armenia's accession to join the
Eurasian Union by the UN-recognized borders. In other words, without
Nagorno-Karabakh. Dmitry Martirosyan, at least considers strange
that Ilham Aliyev's letter is discussed in such a format, without
taking it to a more closed negotiation process. "We believe that our
strategic partner Russia should also have something to say here. If
Armenia is suggested to join under this format, without Artsakh,
then we should remember that the same Moscow is entering into the
Eurasian Union together with the Crimea. So, we are again dealing
here with double standards," said our interlocutor.
