Within the frames of the two-day third session of the Consulting
Council of the leaders of executive power, that manage the state
material reserves in the CIS states, the issue on creation of the
CIS transit bases on humanitarian aid at the territory of Armenia is
discussed in Yerevan.
Representative of Territorial Administration Ministry Rudik Gukasyan,
who initiated such an offer, said that to implement this programme
they suppose to use the bases that Armenia has, where material
values of the CIS countries will be accumulated. They may be used
in case if one of the CIS states wants to show humanitarian aid to
the neighbouring states of the region. He also added that Armenia
comes forward with such an offer taking into consideration unstable
political situation in some countries of the region. Deputy director
of the Russian Federal Agency on State Reserves Vladislav Gasumyanov
said in connection with this, that in general the Russian delegation
positively treats creation of the transit bases in Armenia. ‘At the
same time we think that there are many obstacles in the national
legislation for this project fulfillment. We need much time to study
the issue in details and take a decision taking national legislation
into consideration’, – Gasumyanov said.
