By having signed the agreement on Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has made Armenia and its sovereignty hostage to that suspicious structure, Director of the Armenian Institute of International and Security Affairs Stepan Safaryan told journalists on Saturday.
"From now on Armenia will face dim future and growing threats. Now nobody will care for its interests, while Russia will be using the Nagorno-Karabakh problem for enhancing its influence in the South Caucasus," Safaryan said.
He believes that the Kremlin will do its best to make Azerbaijan also involved in the Eurasian Economic Union.
He said that the agreement on Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union has a point saying that there should be a customs office on Armenia's border with Nagorno-Karabakh. This point is a time bomb, which will blow up as soon as Armenia refuses to meet it.
Safaryan is surprised to see that the Armenian opposition ignores this problem. "While the authorities hint that they had no alternative to this decision, the opposition says that it was right. If things continue developing this way, very soon they in the Kremlin will selected a governor for Armenia," Safaryan said.
