YEREVAN. – The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is gradually acquiring new agencies, including supranational agencies. There are several formats of EAEU activities which, whether or not we want, will reflect on the activities of the National Assembly.

Vladimir Vardanyan, a member of the majority “My Step” faction at the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, on Tuesday stated the above-said at the NA, as he introduced the draft decision on this matter.

Speaking about the Standing Committee on Regional Integration which is being established at the new legislature of Armenia, Vardanyan noted that there also was a domain of parliamentary oversight, and therefore it would be appropriate that this committee deal also with the fulfillment of Armenia’s obligations before the EAEU—which comprises Armenia, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.

“Of course, I don’t rule out that this committee will deal also with other regional integration matters,” he added.

As reported earlier, the new Armenian parliament will have 11 standing committees.
