The UN General Assembly's recent plenary session adopted a resolution,
whereby Armenia is elected member to the United Nations Committee on
the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), the Armenian Astronomical
Society (ArAS) reported.
As per ArAS, this membership is extremely important for Armenia and,
first and foremost, it is a result of the effective work conducted
by Armenian diplomats. Despite all efforts by Azerbaijan to hinder
Armenia's membership, the country was elected member with an absolute
majority of the votes. By becoming a COPUOS member, Armenia will join
the five main international agreements with respect to the peaceful
uses of outer space. In addition, Armenia's representative will attend
the annual sessions of COPUOS and its subcommittees.
Armenia's COPUOS membership will be beneficial and effective from all
vantage points. Specifically, Armenia will be able to partake in new
outer space programmes.
