The Armenian authorities’ decision to join the Russian-led Customs
Union was an anti-state measure, the opposition Free Democrats party
says in a statement criticizing the move.
The members of the party consider the decision a major threat to
Armenia’s sovereignty. and a restriction on the country’s future
prospects of development.
“This decision of the Armenian authorities was an anti-state move
which implies a return to the renewed imperial system. We consider
this process an anti-constitutional step given that Article 1 of
Armenia’s Constitution declares the Republic of Armenia as a a
sovereign, democratic, social state” with Article 114 saying that
“Articles 1, 2 and 114 of the Constitution may not be amended.
“We find the steps towards shadowing Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh’s
security unacceptable,” say the Free Democrats.
