YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 14, ARMENPRESS. Armenia received 75 billion 369 million drams from the total budget (from customs duties) of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) in 2019, but transferred less money – 63 billion 422 million drams, to the EAEU budget, Deputy Chair of the State Revenue Committee Shushanik Nersisyan said at a press conference.

“Armenia’s share of the EAEU common budget is 1.22%. Armenia’s participation to the EAEU single budget has always been less, but we received more from this budget. In all months of 2019, except September, Armenia received more than it gave”, she said.

In 2019 Armenia has sent 63 billion 422 million AMD to the EAEU countries. But the EAEU states sent 75 billion 369 million AMD to Armenia. Starting from mid-2018 and 2019 Armenia’s participation to the EAEU budget is gradually increasing. “This speaks about our enhanced administration and honest partnering relations with regards to the EAEU partners”, Nersisyan said.

She added that the customs duties collected by Armenia, with the exception of the customs duties collected by individuals, are distributed and sent to the general budget.

Emil Lazarian: “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
