Today, Aravot.am inquired from the member of restructuring ANC Ararat Zurabyan as to how he will interpret the reaction of the opposition regarding the statement to enter into the Customs Union. He answered, “Let’s say the following, a significant part of our opposition had always been in very pro-Russian position, and I think that the passiveness of ANC’s reaction, a failure to answer this-or-that question, clearly depends on the pro-Russian political approach.” To our question that the politicians who are expressing in favor of the Customs Union, whether we can say that they are expecting for a crown from Putin, he answered, “I do not know what they are expecting for, but one thing is obvious: a significant part of our political and social life is really pro-Russian. They do not even hide it. I think that they do not differ much from the authorities.” Ararat Zurabyan said that he had met and talked to “Republic” party leader Aram Sargsyan regarding the issue of joining the Customs Union, and hopes that they will find some solutions. To our question whether the series of consultations are outdated, he responded, “Life is going on. Let’s consider something that there is no break in life. Political activity is a matter of one day or one issue. They are processes, they will proceed and we will find a dimension where we will stop.”
