The “channel” for the re-export of cars from Armenia closed forever: Deputy Prime Minister explained the reasons
YEREVAN, 12 Feb — Sputnik. The authorities of Armenia can no longer discuss with colleagues in the EEU benefits of import of cars to Armenia. This was stated at a government hour in Parliament, Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan, answering a question of Deputy from “Prosperous Armenia” Mikayel Melkumyan.
The MP noted that colleagues in Kazakhstan have complained about the influx of cars from Armenia, where the end of 2019, the clearance was cheaper (until the Republic had a national, not a Eurasian duties on cars). Many local car dealers because of this was carrying the machine from Armenia.
“However, they themselves set the benefits. We have 20% VAT, while they have 12%. Then why don’t we reduce VAT to compete in Eurasian markets?” asked Melkumyan.
In response, Krikorian said: if these machines are made in Armenia, it was still possible to try to defend the interests of their industry. Then the arguments of the Armenian side would have sounded much stronger.
“But no production here, but there is only resale. And it is clear that Russia and Kazakhstan who have your automotive, do not agree to it,” – said Grigoryan.
He recalled that initially Armenia will be allowed to retain duty on cars within five years to the market of the Republic was able to adapt to new conditions. But it was stipulated that cars imported in this period of transition, intended for use only in Armenia to the EEU markets are not created unequal competition (and it occurs if you arrive from Armenia cheap vehicles). And out of Armenia these cars are actively exported.
“So I don’t think we will be able to raise the question of how to reduce the cost of our customs clearance. This is not consistent with the rules of the Eurasian economic Union,” he added.
We will note, according to data presented by Mikayel Melkumyan in Armenia to 2019 has been delivered to about 190 thousand cars, from them 22 thousand re-exported to Kazakhstan, 77 thousand – in Russia.

King of Jordan says proud to be responsible for holy sites of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem
On an official visit to Armenia, His Royal Majesty Abdullah II Al Hussein All Hashimi sent his massage of “Religion and Tolerance.”
Speaking at the Presidential Palace, the King said “being
one of the world’s oldest cities, Yerevan is the capital of a young a vibrant
country. It reminds me very much of my beloved Jordan. Our two countries and
peoples have carved a niche for themselves in the contemporary world.”
“Jordan, much like Armenia has made its human capital the main driving force in its journey towards development. Our countries have much to gain from cooperating, to capitalize on this promising potential,” he added.
“Although this is our first official visit to your beautiful country, we feel like we are a family, and, in fact, we are a family. These bonds are dating back hundreds of years. My grand grandfather, as you mentioned, Mr. President, commanded to love God and love our neighbor and gave refuge to the Armenian Christian families. My grand grandfather, my grandfather, my father and me, helping those, who are desperately in need understood that it is the only option. It is a duty that Jordan continues to live by. Thousands of Jordanian trace their roots back to Armenia. They are an honor to both our countries and play a vital role in the arts, education, public service, business and much, much more. And they form the solid bedrock on which our friendship continues,” he added.
King Abdullah said that the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan was preparing to celebrate its first centennial, “We look back fondly and proudly on the role that the Jordanians of the Armenian descent and all Jordanians have played working for progress and prosperity of our homeland,” he said.
“But our joint history extends far beyond that. Armenians in the Middle East are part of the oldest Christian community of the world. They are an inextricable part of our past, and we look forward to working with you to make sure they continue to play such a role in shaping the present and the future,” King Abdullah said.
According to him, Saint Karapet Armenian Apostolic Church in Jordan that stands at the christening site of Jesus Christ on the banks of Jordan River is a testament to the enduring Armenian history in the country.
“The Armenian quarter in Jerusalem has been part of the city for centuries, and the Armenian Patriarchate along with other churches has been under Omar’s protection. A tradition of Christian and Muslim coexistence dates back over thirteen hundred years. This heritage continues today at the Islamic and Christian holy sites. This is a duty I am carrying proudly. And I am especially proud to be responsible for the holy sites of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem,” he stated.
“Jerusalem holds great historic significance not only
to me and my family; the city is holy to the three monotheistic faiths, and
they all have a stake in safeguarding the spiritual, peace and co-existence
that it symbolizes. We cannot let the Holy City turning into a city for
violence and division. So preserving the city’s identity, its legal status as
well as historic status quo in relations to holy sites, Islamic and Christian
alike, is of critical importance. We look to Christian leaders and friends like
you all over the world in safeguarding Jerusalem as a unifying city of peace. I
have spoken today of our old friendship which has rich history,” the King
continued.
He added that for the past 100 years Jordanians of Armenian descent have been
creating an exemplary story of friendship and proved that friendship and,
certainly, brotherhood always win.
“So, I hope that days and months ahead we can write a new chapter together, a
chapter that builds upon friendship that began so long ago, new partnership and
promise for all our people,” King Abdullah concluded.

February 11, 2020 – 15:48 AMT

European Court ruling in Saribekyan and Balayan vs Azerbaijan case “unprecedented” – Armenian MFA
The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has described the European Court in the case of Saribekyan and Balayan vs Azerbaijan as “unprecedented.”
On January 30 the European Court of Human Rights ruled in the case of Saribekyan and Balayan vs Azerbaijan. It is related to the death circumstances of Armenian national Manvel Saribekyan at the Military Police Department of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan.
On September 11, 2010, Manvel Saribekyan due to bad weather conditions lost his way in the borderline of Tavush region of Armenia and found himself on the Azerbaijani side. A month later Saribekyan’s body was returned to the Armenian side. Azerbaijan claimed the Armenian shepherd had committed suicide.
The Azerbaijani side had initiated criminal proceedings against Manvel Saribekyan on obviously false charges and forced him to appear on the Azerbaijani TV by means of torture.
The European Court of Human Rights has concluded that the fundamental human rights enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights (hereinafter: the Convention) of the citizen of the Republic of Armenia were breached, particularly substantive and procedural aspects of the Right to Life (Article 2 of the Convention), as well as breach of Article 3 of the Convention prohibiting torture, as the European Court of Human Rights undoubtedly ruled that Saribekyan was subjected to very serious and cruel suffering and that it was carried out intentionally on a detained person under the exclusive control of the Azerbaijani authorities.
“The ruling is unprecedented: for the first time the European Court of Human Rights has found Azerbaijan responsible for depriving an Armenian national of life and established that the citizen of the Republic of Armenia died as a result of violent actions of others, notably personnel at the Military Police Department of Azerbaijan,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
“This ruling once again demonstrates that Azerbaijan is overtly violating its international human rights obligations. It also indicates that every Armenian who would fall under the control of the Azerbaijani authorities, regardless of his or her status, is subjected to a life threat,” the statement reads.
The Ministry said the Republic of Armenia will continue its consistent efforts to ensure security of the citizens of Armenia and the Armenian people and achieve justice.

Your nation represents the essence and axis of Islam; You, Your Majesty, as well as Your family, are descendants of Prophet Muhammad. As a country which was the first to adopt Christianity, PA WIRE not only has good relations with Jordan but we two have a lot to tell each other,” the President of Armenia underscored.
President Sarkissian expressed confidence that potential, which the two countries could reach in the future, would be much more that it is today.
The King of Jordan Abdullah II said that the two countries are linked by good friendship and history. “We have great reverence towards the oldest Christian Church which is represented not only in Jerusalem but in our country too. It represents part of our past and is a beautiful element not only of our present but also of our future,” he underscored.
At the meeting, the President of Armenia raised the issues of a visa free regime for the citizens of Armenia travelling to Jordan and signing the agreement on the avoidance of double taxation. The interlocutors noted that great opportunities exist for cooperation in the areas of high-tech, education, science, and healthcare. Stressed was the necessity of expanding the already existing student exchange program, as well as the establishment of a direct air link between the capitals of the two countries – Yerevan and Amman.

Yerevan dismisses Baku’s “nuclear terrorism” remarks as “flimsy”
February 11, 2020 – 11:36 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net – Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan on Monday, February 10 blasted Azerbaijan’s “non-existent” and “flimsy” allegations concerning Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh).
Mnatsakanyan made the comments at the at the International Conference on Nuclear Security: Sustaining and Strengthening Efforts after Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said that because of the “occupation of 20% of Azerbaijan’s territory”, the country “is unable to control the territory, which creates favorable conditions for illegal activities, including nuclear terrorism.”

The territory of the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh is under full and legitimate control of NK authorities and nothing indicates to the contrary. NK authorities are open for international cooperation and at any time the Azeri allegations can be easily verified and proven as non-existent,” said Mnatsakanyan.

2020-2023 Business Environment Improvement Program Discussed in Government

2020-2023 Business Environment Improvement Program Discussed in Government
On February 11, Armenia’s Business Environment Improvement Program for 2020-2023 was discussed in Government, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan.
Tigran Avinyan noted that the evaluations issued by internationally recognized reports are important from the perspective of creating a favorable business environment in the Republic of Armenia, as well as increasing the country’s attractiveness for investments since they help assess the impact of the reforms underway in the country. In this context, the Deputy Prime Minister highlighted the World Bank’s Doing Business 2020 report, which ranked Armenia 47th among some 190 countries.
A number of reforms were carried out in 2018-2019 with a view to improving the applicable business regulations. According to the report, Armenia has implemented serious reforms over the past few years in the fields of property registration, taxation, foreign trade and power grid connectivity.
Despite the above, in 2020 Armenia’s position deteriorated in the Doing Business report as compared to 2019. One of the main reasons for this is our country’s poor performance under the Protecting Small Investors index, which fell to 120 from last year’s 51 due to a change in the World Bank’s assessment methodology. In addition, Armenia’s position is low in Building Permits and Contract Execution categories.
The Deputy Premier said that irrespective of World Bank’s methodological innovations, the business environment reform should be implemented in a progressive manner in order to ensure higher country positions on a yearly basis. The program of measures to improve Armenia’s business environment consisted of 51 activities in 2019, 26 of which have been completed, work on 6 of them has not yet started, and 19 are underway.
Tigran Avinyan noted that the government agencies should be more attentive and consistent in implementing the proposed activities. He underscored that those responsible for failures shall be held accountable.
The meeting focused on the Action Plan for 2020–2023, which features both short-term and long-term activities, the implementation of which will lead to tangible improvements to the business and investment environment.
Stressing the need for coordinated joint efforts, the Deputy Prime Minister reiterated that all program activities should be carried out in a timely and adequate manner.
