EU-Armenia parliamentary partnership committee to meet in Yerevan 

ArmInfo. On February 25, the RA National Assembly will hold the fourth meeting of the European Union-Armenia Parliamentary Partnership Committee. This was reported  by the RA NA press service.

As noted in the report, the current state and prospects for the  development of relations between Armenia and the EU will be discussed  during the meeting. A press conference of the Committee co-chairs -  Chairman of the RA NA Committee on European Integration Arman Egoyan  and Member of the European Parliament Nils Usakovs will be held on  the same day.

At its regular meeting on February 12, the Armenian Parliament  adopted in the first reading the draft law on the beginning of the  country's accession process to the European Union. 63 deputies voted  for the adoption of the law, seven voted against. Only  representatives of the ruling Civil Contract faction voted for the  adoption of the document. The opposition Armenia faction did not  participate in the vote, while another opposition faction With Honor  voted against. On January 9, the Armenian government approved this  bill.  As Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated at the time, the  decision on the country's accession to the EU should be made through  a national referendum. According to him, Armenia is comfortable in  the EAEU, but the government sees that a significant part of the  people wants the country to join the European Union.
