YEREVAN.- Armenia and EU have launched  talks on facilitation of visa regime and readmission.

Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan told the journalists on Monday that the current talks is an independent process but, in fact, it is a supplement to the EU talks on Association Agreement and the issues related to establishment of a free trade area.

The official stressed that the discussed agreements – on facilitation of visa regime and readmission – are two separate documents. He underscored that successful completion of talks and conclusion of an agreement on relaxation of visa requirements will intensify relations between Armenia and EU through civil society. “Thus, societies will get to know each other better,” he added.
