    PM's statement on Customs Union membership does not mean Armenia has
    chosen Russia - expert

    11:08 - 02.06.13

    The statement of the Armenian PM Tigran Sargsyan made at the meeting
    with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev that Armenia's position
    is clear in Customs Union membership issue with just mechanical issues
    having remained, does not mean anything, expert Armen Badalyan said
    speaking to Tert.am.

    The political and election technology expert says Armenia will
    continue telling `yes' to the both parties [EU and Russia] until one
    fine day they both will learn that they have been deceived, he said,
    adding `till that if the West demands answer Armenia will say that it
    is for the Association Agreement, while if Russia demands they will
    say that they did not understand it right they meant becoming Customs
    Union member.'

    Paper Haykakan Zhamanak writes that about a year ago PM Tigran
    Sargsyan referring to the Customs Union and said, `There is no example
    in world practice when a country becomes a member of Union it does not
    have common border with. It will be of no use to become member of such
    union as it means that the producers while exporting and importing
    their products will have to pass customs clearance procedure through a
    third country.'

    Asked who of the parties will finally understand that it has been
    cheated, Badalyan said, `It depends on which party will exert more
    pressure on Serzh Sargsyan.'

    Speaking about the behavior of official Yerevan, he said that this
    statement once again showed the main principle of the Armenian
    authorities - say `no' to the people's demand, say `yes' to each
    demand of geopolitical centers.
    `Not having legitimacy, Armenia's president is trying to solve the
    issue by saying `yes' to both the West and Russia,' he said.
