Post-soviet states delegations feel alien in international organizations

PanARMENIAN.Net - Becoming a member of an international organization, a country voluntarily undertakes commitments to the given structure, an Armenian MP said.



"After the USSR decline, post-soviet states did not have alternative to international organizations. However, given its geopolitical authority, the Russian Federation can be bolder during international discussions than other post-soviet delegations," Armen Ashotyan, chairman of the RA NA standing committee on education, science, culture and sports, said during today's "Membership in international organizations: a tool of pressure on sovereign states or support to democracy development?"

At the same time he emphasized that delegations from CIS countries should still learn to work within international structures. "A joint campaign is needed to make Europeans revise their engaged opinion on the CIS countries," Ashotyan said.
