Ter-Petrosian: The Sargsyan regime lacks awareness of national interest

Armenia’s entry into the Customs Union has already become an irreversible process, while European integration of the country is impossible in the foreseeable future, First Armenian President, leader of the Armenian National Congress (HAK) Levon Ter-Petrosian said today at the rally held in Liberty Square of Yerevan in memory of the victims of the tragic events in Yerevan on March 1, 2008.

“Can the regime led by Serzh Sargsyan carry out this complex mission? In order to carry out this mission, the Sargsyan regime lacks an awareness of national interest, otherwise Armenia and Artsakh would not be desolated, while the people and their opinion would not be oppressed. The national interest and the regime’s interests are incompatible and this is the greatest misfortune of the Armenian people,” Levon Ter-Petrosian said.

In his words, due to the policy implemented by the authorities, Armenia now has a reputation of an unreliable partner both in Russia and the West and structural reforms are needed to restore the country’s authority.
