    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.
