Armenia will not participate in the session of the Interstate Council
of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) on antimonopoly
policy to be held in Baku, press secretary of State Commission on the
Protection of Economic Competition (SCPEC) Armine Udumyan told ARKA.

She said that Armenia’s antimonopoly body will not participate in
the Council because of busy schedule of SCPEC Head Ashot Shakhnazaryan.

"Armenia has received an invitation of participation, however,
taking into account that the only head of the antimonopoly body can
participate in the session, we had to refuse," Udumyan said.

The session of the CIS Interstate Council on antimonopoly policy will
be held in Baku on September 19-21. The participation of relevant
structures of the CIS, Romania, Latvia, Mongolia, European Union,
UN and other international organizations is expected.
