Standing Commission of the Parliament rejected the project of the Elk faction on Armenia`s withdrawal from the EAEU
ArmInfo.In the Standing Committee on Foreign Relations of the National Assembly of Armenia on November 29, a draft statement on the suspension by Armenia of the treaty on membership in the Eurasian Economic Union was discussed. After the vote, this project was rejected.
The deputy from the "Elk" bloc Edmond Marukyan tried to vote "for", but Armen Ashotyan stated that Marukyan is not a member of the commission and does not have the right to vote. The only deputy who first abstained from voting, then Ararat Zurabyan, representative of the Tsarukyan bloc, voted "for", Artak Zeynalyan, a representative of the Elk faction, also voted for. All the other members of the commission voted against the draft.
The bill submitted by the Elk faction in particular says that as a result of the accession of the Republic of Armenia to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), there has been a significant regression in a number of socioeconomic spheres, as well as regression in the security sphere of Armenia.
This discussion was due on September 27, but was postponed due to the absence of the main speaker Edmond Marukyan.
