His comment came after the MEPs backed the deal by 573 votes to 50, with 45 abstentions.
The new partnership agreement is not the end point in terms of EU-Armenia cooperation, but a tool to promote domestic reform and its implementation, says a separate resolution, adopted by the members of the European Parliament.
