YEREVAN. – The non-publicizing of the Armenia-EU Association Agreement is a lot like the step taken by opposition Heritage Party Chairman, ex-presidential candidate and former FM Raffi Hovannisian.   

Hovannisian was to go to a meeting with President Serzh Sargsyan, and Hovannisian was as if was elected President, but he was not disclosing what he would be talking about.  

Opposition National Self-Determination Union Chairman, ex-presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan stated the abovementioned during a press conference on Thursday. 

He also recalled that when Hovannisian had returned from the meeting, he would not disclose details yet again.  

“I hope this [i.e., the Association Agreement] will not be like that. The signing of any agreement with the European Union cannot contain anything sensational for us because Europe is guided by a system of values,” Hayrikyan said. 

He added that, in general, no agreement with the EU can contain negative things.   

As per Paruyr Hayrikyan, the alternative would be the destruction of Armenia.
