11:21 . 23/03
The Foreign Relations Committee of the European Parliament today
adopted a document on Armenia in which, among other provisions, it
was proposed to replace France with the European Union in the OSCE
Minsk Group. The document was adopted with an advantage of one vote
during voting.
It is noteworthy that the committee's French members were not present
at the session, who, naturally, were busy with the incidents in
Toulouse on these days. The document, which hasn't still been published
completely, must still be put to vote in April in the plenary session
of the European Parliament. Press Secretary of RA foreign ministry
Tigran Balayan refused to give any comments on this document. Head of
Armenian National Assembly Standing Committee on European Integration
Naira Zohrabyan said she doesn't think that even if the document is
adopted it will become a guideline for the executive leadership of
the EU.
In any case, despite the calming words, such a change must already be
much worrying for all our negotiators with the EU, be it parliament
or government.
