ARMENIA DOESN'T INTEND TO PERFORM ITS RESPONSIBILITIES ON MEMBERSHIP DUES

Politics

Armenia hasn't paid the international organizations the membership dues of about $ 20.000.000. Because of not having paid membership dues of about $ 1.000.000 Armenia has been disfranchised in UNESCO. Tatul Margaryan, the Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs informs that there is an arrangement to pay the debt part by part. At first Armenia will pay UNESCO the membership dues of $ 50.000 and will restore its suffrage.

Now Armenia is a member of about 60 international organizations. Tatul Margaryan says that our country doesn't intend to perform its responsibilities on membership dues. As he thinks, Armenia will pay membership dues those only where it intends to possess franchise / UNO, OSCE, CE, CIS /. In other ones Armenia is ready to be deprived of the vote thus keeping its status as an observer.
