Today, at the 15th session of the EU-Armenia Parliamentary Partnership Committee, tough estimations were made pertaining to the adopted decision on Armenia’s joining the EaEU. On hearing the criticism of the EU delegates, RPA MP Margarit Yesayan responded, “Mr. Pirinsky said that it would be constructive to think that our choice is doomed to failure. I am grateful for this thought. There is a significant difference between our Strasbourg meeting in 2014 and today’s meeting. The ice that existed shortly after Armenia’s decision I now see that this ice is melting. The decision that we have made generates exclusively from the interests of Armenia’s security. In this context, I must say that right now we were reading the news feed that today, in the morning, we had 3 casualties and 4 injured in the NKR contact line caused by the attack of the Azerbaijani subversive group. This is a fact that is beyond any decision. Margarit Yesayan said that when the European partners speaking about NKR settlement, are using the same tone and the same words when speaking with Armenia and Azerbaijan, they are making a big mistake. This is due to the result that the same tone is used when speaking with the countries that have two different sides and different position.”
As for the EU delegates’ observation that Putin has signed an agreement with Azerbaijan on 4 billion dollars arms sale, Margarit Yesayan mentioned that yesterday Serzh Sargsyan had announced that it leaves a bad influence on the Armenian soldier when he realizes that he is shot by the Russian weapon. “I do not want to open the brackets, all of you are diplomats and I hope you understand what I want to say now.”
