YEREVAN. – The European Union remains a key partner for Armenia, bilateral relations are developing in a number of areas, and meetings between institutional structures are held. This is an answer by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian in response to a request by Heritage party member to assess the level of Armenia-EU ties.

Armenia participates in multilateral platforms and is included in over dozen of commissions on such issues as democracy, justice, education, energy, Nalbandian added.

Speaking about assertion on regress in Armenia-EU relations, the Minister noted that visa facilitation agreement came into force on January 1, 2014. A protocol on Armenia's participation in different projects of the EU agencies took effect from March. 

“In the near future we will continue cooperation with new EU leadership in order to form a new background for Armenia-EU relations. In November Economy Minister will discuss trade and economic cooperation opportunities in Brussels. The meeting of Committee on trade issues is scheduled for the second half of November,” he added.

Asked whether it is possible for Armenia and EU to sign a political part of the Association Agreement, Foreign Minister said Yerevan is ready to work in every format and in every sector unless it contradicts with the commitments under other integration processes.
