Opposition protests against Armenia’s integration in pro-Russian union

Armenian opposition parties protest against country’s deep integration in Russia-led structures, Armenian NEWS.am reports.

Opposition Armenian Heritage Party leader Raffi Hovannisian during his speech at the large rally in Yerevan downtown on Friday evening severely criticized the decision of Armenian authorities to join the Russia-led Eurasian Union. According to Hovannisian, the decision to sign the agreement on the accession to the Eurasian Union made by Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan was “a betrayal of national interests, leading to a loss of sovereignty and independence.”
