YEREVAN, JUNE 21, ARMENPRESS. The Eurasian Economic Commission is working on the draft international treaty on creating the Union’s common gas market, Chairman of the EEC Board Mikhail Myasnikovich said during a briefing today, summing up the results of the meeting with the business community of Belarus.

“It’s not the first year that this topic is being discussed, and we have set a task before us to make this document ready this year and send it to the member states for conducting internal procedures. Common gas market means equal conditions for economic entities”, he said.

According to the EEC Board Chairman, the next issue within the EAEU relates to cargo transportation. “And for solving this issue, the Eurasian Economic Commission is currently drafting a very big and contemporary agreement on electronic-navigation seals which will accompany the cargo transported in the EAEU territory and will allow to facilitate several administrative issues during inspections”, he said.

“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
