We did not hold a referendum after entering the EAEU, therefore, there is no need for it when we leave or not.

The question of “stay or leave” is leading us into a trap as a nation.

Before holding a referendum, we should first of all understand the government’s responsibility for such issues.

If you ask the people, it is natural that most of them will want to go to the EU and leave the EAEU, but the function of the government is to assess all the risks, the situation and make decisions. It is natural that this is not done, there is no calculation. This is a question that, by putting it to a referendum, the results will be predetermined.

And in the end, we have to understand if we can leave one place and the other one won’t accept us.

Vahan Babayan, Chairman of the Reformists Party
