ARMENIA'S GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE EURASIAN INTEGRATION COMMITTEE - POLITICAL SCIENTIST
September 19, 2013 | 16:55
YEREVAN. - A Eurasian Integration Committee should be set up within
the Government of Armenia, stated chairman Hmayak Hovhannisyan of
the Politologists' Union of Armenia, on Thursday.
In his view, without this committee the National Assembly (NA) will be
unable to examine the entire package of the bills that are necessary
to make Armenia's legislation comply with that of the Customs Union.
Hovhannisyan noted that the complementarity in foreign relations can
be restored if a standing committee on Eurasian integration is formed
in the Armenian parliament, since a Standing Committee on European
Integration already exists.
As per the political scientist, the NA Standing Committee on Foreign
Relations should work on this legislation; but it cannot work on this
matter on its own. And if it receives assistance from the Standing
Committee on State and Legal Affairs, an ambiguous situation will be
created, since this process refers to Armenia's foreign policy.
To note, following the talks that were held on September 3 in Moscow
between Armenian and Russian Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir
Putin, Sargsyan had announced that Armenia plans to join the Customs
Union and subsequently engage in the formation of the Eurasian
Economic Union.
