Panorama, Armenia

The Armenian government on Friday approved the legislative initiative on the draft law “On ratification of the Protocol on amending the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union of May 29, 2014” signed in Moscow on 18 March 2018.

Speaking at today’s cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Armenia’s acting Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian noted the decision aims at ensuring the possibility of being represented at the Supreme Council of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) at the prime minister’s level.

PM Pashinyan convened the first regular cabinet meeting on Friday morning since his appointment to the office. He had earlier announced a decision to hold open-door government meetings to allow the presence of media.

“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
