CIS needs reforms – Armenia FM
By Tigran Liloyan
YEREVAN
The Commonwealth of Independent States “has a big potential and a
great future ahead of it,” but it is in need of reforms, Armenian
Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanyan said on Wednesday.
“The CIS activity is not that efficient as its member-states would
expect,” he told a press conference in Yerevan. The foreign minister
believes “correct reforms should be carried out” in the Commonwealth.
“The states should demonstrate political will, particularly as
concerns the setting up of a zone of free trade,” he believes.
