YEREVAN, December 16, /ARKA/. Varos Simonian, head of an Armenian
economy ministry department in charge of cooperation with EU and
international economic cooperation, told ARKA that Armenia is likely
to accede to the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Government
Procurements in late 2010.

The Agreement on Government Procurement of the World Trade Organization
(WTO-AGP), commonly known as the GPA, establishes a framework of rights
and obligations for government procurement among the WTO members that
have signed it.

The signatories have agreed that suppliers of goods and services in
other signatory countries will be treated no less favorably than
domestic suppliers in procurement covered by the Agreement, and
that their laws, regulations and procedures relating to government
procurement will be transparent and fair. Armenia acceded to WTO
in 2003.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
