YEREVAN. – EU Advisory group will continue supporting Armenian authorities in the implementation of their obligations, European Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy Štefan Füle said on Tuesday at the press conference with Armenian PM Tigran Sargsyan and added that EU has doubled the aid for Armenia within the frameworks of Eastern Partnership (EP).

“Armenia and EU will stay devoted to their obligations. EU is interested in enlarging and deepening cooperation with Armenia. We see and praise Armenia’s progress within the Association talks and believe that intensive contacts harmonize the enlargement of the forum agenda in Armenia,” he stated.

Füle and Sargsyan praised high level of bilateral relations and stressed its effectiveness and fruitfulness. Last year Europe offered states of the Southern Caucasus a partnership within EP, initiated by Poland and Switzerland.

EP does not intend possibility of EU membership. However, it provides visa regime simplification, cooperation in energetic sphere and joining to the free trade zone.
