Parliament majority leader Artur Hovhannisyan said Thursday that he sees no obstacle for passing the bill on launching the EU integration process although the ruling faction hasn’t made a decision on the matter yet.
Asked on the ruling Civil Contract faction’s stance regarding the bill, MP Hovhannisyan told reporters that the passage would be logical.
“As you know, the initiative of our extraparliamentary partners was submitted to the Cabinet, and the Cabinet which was elected by the parliament has approved it, thus it would be logical for the parliament to adopt the bill. The faction doesn’t yet have a decision, that’s why I am not speaking about the decision now, I am rather speaking about the logic, and I think that the bill will be adopted, I don’t see any obstacle,” Hovhannisyan said.
On January 9, the Cabinet approved the bill seeking to launch the process of EU integration. The bill, which is set to be discussed in parliament, was initiated by several civic organizations through a petition which garnered enough votes to be considered as a bill.
