YEREVAN. – Israel is quite interested in participating in the establishment of a free economic zone in Armenia. 

Ruling Republican Party of Armenia MP Gagik Melikyan, a member of the Armenia-Israel Parliamentary Friendship Group delegation that recently visited Israel, noted about the abovementioned at Friday’s press conference of the members of this friendship group.

In his words, considering Armenia’s membership in the Eurasian Economic Union—which comprises Armenia, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan—, the Israeli side has made quite an intriguing and interesting statement.

“They want to participate in the process of creating a free economic zone in Armenia, and to start active economic activities at that zone,” Melikyan noted.
