YEREVAN, March 21. /ARKA/. On March 22, the Armenian Center for
Strategic and National Research (ASFNR) will present results of
research on meeting minimal criteria of labor conditions in commercial
agreements and protecting the environment.
The ASFNR expert in chief Stepan Safaryan said that during the
event the third report will be presented which is compiled by the
organizations "Worldwide public onion" and "Chicago Council on world
issues" based on the results of research in 18 countries.
The ASFNR presents Armenia based on the interviews conducted with
1,300 respondents in November-December 2006.
"It is well-known that not only in Armenia but also in developed and
developing countries the criteria of labor conditions and environmental
protection are not voluntarily executed. At the present stage of
development the obtrusion of similar standards becomes more and more
necessary," Safaryan said.
He pointed out that this issue should be discussed in Armenia "because
sooner or later such demands will be made."
