Armenian parliamentary committee postpones EU accession bill debate
The Armenian Parliament's Standing Committee on European Integration has decided to delay the second reading of the draft law on initiating the country's EU accession process, committee head Arman Yeghoyan announced.
"The discussion of the bill was postponed due to technical reasons. We have no political disagreements on this matter," he said, meaning that the bill will not be discussed during the parliamentary session starting on Tuesday, News.Az reports, citing TASS.
On February 12, the Armenian parliament passed a draft law in the first reading to initiate the process of the republic's accession to the European Union.
Earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan clarified that this would not mean the immediate start of Yerevan's accession process, as the issue requires a referendum. Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan explained that the draft law was a public initiative that had gathered the required number of signatures.
