YEREVAN. – Estonia has always supported the European Union (EU) Eastern Partnership program.

Marge Mardisalu-Kahar, the Director at Estonian Center of Eastern Partnership, stated the above-said at a two-day seminar, which kicked off Monday in Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan, to discuss the EU-related issues and EU-funded activities in Armenia.

“It’s important for us that the EU-Armenia relations grow deeper,” Mardisalu-Kahar added. 

Armenia-based Regional Studies Center Director, political analyst Richard Giragosian stated, for his part, that he believed that not enough work has been done to explain what the EU Association Agreement really is.   

“We have made mistakes. Now, the reality is that the door [before Armenia] to Europe is closed, but it’s not locked, and that’s important,” Giragosian stated.  

The two-day seminar is organized by the Estonian Center of Eastern Partnership, Regional Studies Center and the Estonian Ambassador to Armenia.
