YEREVAN. – The European Union remains an important partner for Armenia, Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan said during the debates on 2015 draft budget.
Armenia continues active participation in the projects within Eastern Partnership program, and relations are developing in different directions.
“The sides have agreed to form legal basis for new relations. Working consultations to discuss economic component of Armenia-EU relations will be held in the near future to be followed by political consultations to form new circle of cooperation,” Kocharyan said.
He noted Armenia's interest in further deepening of relations with EU, adding that Armenia does everything to exclude differences with EU amid accession to the Eurasian Economic Union.
“We must determine the areas where we can act freely in terms of trade,” the official said.
