Data of Europeans about Armenia differ considerably from official data
The members of the RA NA delegation at Euronest Parliamentary Assembly today at the NA during the meeting with the journalists presented the details on the activities of Euronest PA 5th plenary sitting. Republican Artak Zakaryan, President of the NA Standing Committee on Foreign Relations, by touching upon the reports prepared at the Committee on Political Affairs noted that in one of the reports there were contradicting provisions, and the Armenian delegation had reservations, “There were proposals directly relating to the NK issue, which contradicted the interests of Armenia, but the case didn’t develop into veto; as a result of the negotiations the authors of the proposal withdrew their proposals according to the rules of procedure. In general, all four reports derive from the interests of Armenia.” The NA Armenian National Congress (HAK) faction member Hrant Bagratyan spoke about the activities of the Committee on Economic Affairs of “Euronest”. He presented a report on the SMEs, but the data, which Europeans had, considerably differed from the statistics of Armenia, “It is impossible to govern a country with such numbers.” The members of the delegation also noted that in spite of the situation in Brussels, the activities of Euronest proceeded normally. Member of the Armenian delegation Tevan Poghosyan by touching upon the NK conflict resolution noted that in April Euronest partners want to leave for Azerbaijan in order to call on them to return to the frames of Euronest. Artak Zakaryan added in his turn that he called on Euronest partners leaving for Azerbaijan not to make any promises connected with the conflict resolution, “I also want to add that the Armenian delegation is against the blackmail, which the Azerbaijani side implemented within the frames of Euronest.” By the way, this year in autumn the sitting of “Euronest” Economic Committee will take place in Yerevan. First time Women’s Forum was held within the frames of “Euronest”. The Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) lawmaker Shushan Petrosyan, who isn’t a member of the Armenian delegation, participated in the sitting. According to Artak Zakaryan, she took part in Euronest as a guest at their expense and made an interesting speech, “Her participation was very efficient especially in terms of social and cultural issues.” Tevan Poghosyan added that during that forum it was mainly spoken about Nadezhda Savchenko, “Only Shushan Petrosyan spoke about women’s right in the unrecognized territories. At present, as I have learnt from Shushan Petrosyna’s Facebook page, she left for Moscow for a charity concert for furnishing the NKR military bases.”
