YEREVAN, May 22. /ARKA/. Armenia is a member of the EAEU, and does not have the issue of leaving this union on its agenda, said RA Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan, commenting to journalists on the process of the republic's rapprochement with the EU.
"Our actions are not "for" or "against" any country and cannot be. It would be a series of bad actions if we planned our actions against or for any country. Everything we do, we do for the Republic of Armenia," Papoyan said at a briefing on Thursday.
According to him, Armenia is bringing its legislation and regulations into line with the best regulations in the world.
"For example, next week the National Assembly will adopt four directives of the European Union that concern the protection of consumer rights and competition," Papoyan said.
