ARMENIAN AUTHORITIES AND OPPOSITION WOEFULLY UNANIMOUS ON EURASIAN INTEGRATION - PUBLICIST
10:09 * 07.11.14
The unanimity which we see between Armenia's political opposition
and government when it comes to the country's Eurasian integration
policies is tantamount to a disaster, says Vahram Martirosyan, an
Armenian writer and publicist.
"The main problem which exists for me is the total unanimity between
the opposition and the authorities over Armenia's accession to the
Eurasian Economic Union. I consider such a merger disastrous for
the society," he told Tert.am, adding that the opposition could at
least propose other options and alternatives if it really found the
deal reasonable.
As for the series of public demonstrations, which the parliamentary
minority conducts at times to raise its voice of protest against what
it calls the authorities' failures and inactions, Martirosyan said
he thinks that they are simply an ordinary tool of campaign.
Commenting on the outcomes of recent surveys (which reveal that over
50% of Armenia's population supports the Eurasian integration plan),
the publicist said he finds that they reflect the true situation,
with those opposing to the idea being mainly society's elite (whom
he described as Don Quixotes).
"Without the alliance with Armenia, Russia will irrevocably lose its
influence in the South Caucasus," he explained.
Martirosyan said he believes that the Constitutional Court's November
14 session and the subsequent voting by the National Assembly (due
on November 17) are a good occasion to once again warn the society
of the adventurousness of Eurasian integration.
