ArmInfo.On November 23, an extraordinary joint meeting of the standing commissions on political  issues and international cooperation and socio-economic and legal issues of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly was held via videoconference.

According to the press service of the National Assembly of the  Republic of Armenia, Deputy Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on  Defense and Security Armen Khachatryan and member of the commission  Gegham Manukyan took part in the work of the commissions.

The Armenian parliamentarians expressed disagreement with the  statements of the CSTO PA Council on the agenda regarding the  "attempt to justify and encourage the Nazis of the "Galicia" SS  Division" in the Canadian Parliament.

Armen Khachatryan explained that the Speaker of the Canadian  Parliament, admitting his mistake for this initiative, apologized and  resigned. Subsequently, the Canadian parliament confirmed the need to  criticize Nazism and related manifestations.

The deputy chairman of the commission said that Canada is a friendly  country for Armenia, opening the only embassy in the region in  Yerevan. He also added that Canada adequately responded to the  problems of compatriots forcibly displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh.

Armenian parliamentarians proposed a draft condemning Nazism and  nationalism, which will be discussed in the relevant committee of the  CSTO PA.

On the second item on the agenda - "Statement of the CSTO PA on the  possible consequences of the use of ammunition with depleted  uranium", it was noted that this issue is regulated by the relevant  UN acts, and it is inappropriate to address it.
