Serzh Sargsyan: In the course of time Armenians will feel the result of the agreement
The summit of the European People's Party (EPP) took place in Brussels yesterday, in which President Serzh Sargsyan participated. After the summit, the President gave an exclusive interview to Azatutyun radio station. Azatutyun: What benefits will average Armenians get from the agreement? Serzh Sargsyan: They, probably, will not feel it in one or two days, but they will see the changes in the course of time, as we are able to make quick changes only with the help of the EU support. We are both not able to and do not want to invent bicycles; there are absolute truths that we should lead. Except internal freedom, citizens of Armenia will be able to travel to Brussels, to Paris without any difficulty; and I think that today, in the EPP announcement, there was this clear statement. Let us see what in tomorrow's summit happens. Azatutyun: You have recently been to Russia, you have met with President Vladimir Putin; was there any objection against the agreement? Serzh Sargsyan: I have just said it at the summit that during my presidency (soon it will be the tenth year), as well during the years when I used to run other offices, I have never heard any objection from Russia, especially from President Vladimir Putin, against our cooperation with the EU. Azatutyun: And the last question: Mr. President, how do you imagine your life after 2018? Will you remain the leader of Armenia? Serzh Sargsyan: If I had imagined it, it would have already been announced by me. I will announce it when I know it. Details are available here
