YEREVAN. – Serzh Sargsyan’s decision to make Armenia become a member in the Customs Union shocked not solely Armenia and Europe, but also the ruling Republican Party RPA) members, who were making contradictory comments on this matter.   

Opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) bloc National Assembly Faction Secretary Aram Manukyan stated the aforesaid on Friday.

“The RPA likewise was not well informed about Sargsyan’s visit to Moscow. After returning from Moscow, Serzh Sargsyan should have at least give explanations, but, instead, he was receiving ambassadors,” the opposition MP said.

Manukyan also stressed that, at present, no political power—including the RPA—is informed about what the document on accession to the Customs Union assumes.     

To note, following the talks that were held on September 3 in Moscow between Armenian and Russian Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin, Sargsyan had announced that Armenia plans to join the Customs Union and subsequently engage in the formation of the Eurasian Economic Union.
