Membership In Any Economic Union Implies Certain Loss Of Sovereignty

MEMBERSHIP IN ANY ECONOMIC UNION IMPLIES CERTAIN LOSS OF SOVEREIGNTY – RUSSIAN ENVOY

21:10 ~U 19.09.13

Any country joining an international economic union partially concedes
its sovereignty to a supranational body, the Russian ambassador to
Armenia has said.

“That’s natural; there’s nothing criminal, horrific or tragic about
it. By acceding to the Customs Union, Armenia is not fully losing
its sovereignty. If problems need a collective solution, there has
to be a collective body to offer such a solution,” Ivan Volynkin told
a news conference on Thursday.

The diplomat said he hails Armenia’s decision to join the Eurasian
Customs Union. “That’s a good step, a right step in the right
direction.”

The ambassador said Armenia will become a full-fledge member of the
union after completing all the necessary procedures. But he did not
specify any timeframes.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
