Heritage Party condemns the de facto signing of the agreement on
Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union and regards this
step as non-constitutional.
"It has put at threat the sovereignty of Armenia and Nagorno-
Karabakh. We believe that Serzh Sargsyan has no right to make such
decisions unilaterally with no preliminary public consultations,"
the party says.
It adds that Armenia has no right to integrate into international
structures until it recognizes the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh.
"The other members of the Eurasian Economic Union do not regard Armenia
as an equal partner. They accepted it just to be able to pressure
Azerbaijan by means of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," the party says.
It believes that the true goal of the Armenian authorities was to gain
support for their illegitimate regime. "Besides, a president that
has usurped power through electoral fraud has no right to sign any
documents on behalf of his country," Heritage says, meaning Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan.
In this light, the party us urging the Armenian Parliament to refrain
from ratifying the agreement or to do it only when Armenia recognizes
the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh.
The only way-out of this situation, according to Heritage, is change
of the ruling regime. "This is the will of most of Armenians," the
party says.
