OPPOSITION ARMENIAN MP INQUIRES ABOUT BENEFITS FROM JOINING CUSTOMS UNION
19:31 ~U 05.06.13
Hrant Bagratyan, an MP from the opposition Armenian National Congress
(ANC) party asked Armen Alaverdyan, Deputy Head of the State Revenue
Committee, if he is aware of losses Armenia may sustain if it joins
the Customs Union.
"What are you going to do?"
Gagik Minasyan, an MP from the ruling Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA), responded at once, saying: "No, we are not joining. We are
integrating."
However, Bagratyan quoted Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan as
saying that "everything must be done as soon as possible to join the
Customs Union."
"Now you say one thing, now you say another," Bagratyan said.
Alaverdyan believes that Armenia will not sustain any essential losses
if it joins the Customs Union in the coming years.
He pointed out the task of relieving the tax burden on businesses
and instituting a new tax requires years.
Alaverdyan also spoke of the benefits Armenia may derive from joining
the Customs Union.
