The deepening of relations with the European Union (EU) is part of Armenia’s policy, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated in his address Wednesday at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) session in Strasbourg, France.

According to the FM, the Armenian parliament had previously passed a respective law.

It makes the aspiration for EU membership and work towards achieving that goal mandatory for any Armenian government. Now they are taking many steps in this direction: sectoral integration, visa liberalization, and participation in numerous programs, added Mirzoyan, and expressed hope that their joint efforts in this regard will continue.
