A progressive increase in the number of Armenian Diaspora members in Ukrainian parliament proves the Diaspora’s high level of integration in Ukrainian society, Fraza Media Holding editor-in-chief said.

In an interview with Analitika.at.ua, Vitaly Kustov characterized the process as positive in view of similarities between Ukraine and Armenia, who share historical roots, common friends and enemies.

3 Armenians elected into Ukrainian parliament are the chairman of the Union of Armenians of Ukraine Vilen Shatvoryan, famous entrepreneur Never Mkhitaryan, ex-governor of Kharkov region Arsen Avakov.

In near future, the Union of Armenians of Ukraine plans to host a meeting of Armenian-born MPs. The event will focus on Armenian Diaspora consolidation and its interaction with other communities.
