    The reason for cancelling Medvedev's visit. "Russia does not want to
    waste time on useless visits."

    September 2 2014


    Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev will not visit Armenia on
    September 8-9. And as to why the visit of Russian Prime Minister is
    cancelled, today, some interpretations were made by the Prime Minister
    of Armenia, Hovik Abrahamyan, specifically stating the following:
    "Discussion of Armenia's accession to the EaEU is moved to the
    presidential level, and will be discussed at the Minsk meeting of EaEU
    member countries' presidents on October 10." Aravot.am asked the
    expert of "Political and International Studies Center", Ruben
    Mehrabyan, whether the official reasoning is satisfactory, or there
    are other sub-contexts in cancellation of Medvedev's visit. He
    replied, "If this visit does not contain any new milestone in the
    process of involving Armenia in the Eurasian Union, then it's a
    pointless visit. I do not think that Russia currently is in the
    situation that can spend time on useless visits. At least, Armenia at
    the moment does not enter into these priorities, and Russia has more
    important issues. This was a pointless visit, and actually it was
    either delayed or simply canceled." To our observation of whether as a
    milestone we can state that the processes of Armenia's accession to
    the Eurasian Union again reached a deadlock, Mr. Mehrabyan responded,
    "If we are talking about the strategic deadlock, then we are in the
    strategic deadlock since September 3, and in this sense, nothing has
    been changed. We see what internal processes there are in the Eurasian
    Union, or rather, in the structure, which is trying to become a
    Eurasian Union. For internal organic reasons, the design of this Union
    is not operating. Its creation is under a serious question, it raises
    questions that have no answers, but the answers are obvious. Actually,
    it is a pointless structure that remained on paper, and it's time to
    throw the paper into the wastebasket." Ruben Mehrabyan does not think
    that the presidents' meeting is going to be a "magic" one. To our
    question of whether the failure of the establishment of the EaEU
    generates from our interests, or vice versa, and whether its failure
    does not issue a challenge to our security, which was constantly
    emphasized by official Yerevan, Ruben Mehrabyan replied, "Putting an
    end to all those rumors about the Eurasian Union actually generates
    from everyone's interests, including Russia's, in the sense that it
    wastes pointless energy on something that is not working, and if they
    stop being engaged in such pointless things, they would have free time
    to be engaged in real affairs. With regard to security, on the
    contrary, Armenia's security suffered with the decision voiced on
    September 3, and the end of this process will open up wide
    opportunities for Armenia."
