“Today, Armenia still continues to stay striving, but not reaching the Customs Union,” said NSU leader Paruyr Hayrikyan to allegation of the President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, that “going madly to the CU” id due to us rather than by someone’s desire or allegations. According to him, the initiative of becoming a member of the Customs Union was a failure, and if the CU member states, which did not want Armenia’s membership, change their mind and treat Armenia’s accession positive, a greater failure will occur. Mr. Hayrikyan reiterated his earlier expressed idea that “MM in the coming months or years will become a headache first of all for Putin,” then commented that Serzh Sargsyan by saying that entering into the CU is due to us meant by his whim. “It is evident that accession to the Customs Union is his whim, and since he did not meet any objections on this issue in Armenia’s political supporters’ circles, thereby it became obvious that he and his teammates are far from democracy.”
Mr. Hayrikyan claims that the decision of joining the CU is not in conformity with Serzh Sargsyan’s non-campaign promises, nor pre-sentiments and campaign commitments. “I’m not talking about the quality of the elections because it was my request that the high-level European diplomats annulled the election. Especially, the French MPs were asking me, Do you want us to consider the elections invalid, when one of the candidates is shot at and taken out of the way. I asked to speculate on everything, but if you talk and give estimations on the death attempt, then you’re pouring water on the terrorism supporters’ mill.”
NSU leader also said that prior to the elections, Serzh Sargsyan had promised the then EPP President, Wilfried Martens, that Armenia is going to Europe. “Now, I’m opening my cards, Serzh Sargsyan promised, but when the elections went smoothly, strayed from the path. In fact, he had promised another thing and receive the position of the president based on this promise, but is doing a different thing. This is obvious deception against your own people.”
