    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan received
    Wednesday the EU Troika delegation led by Dimitrij Rupel, the Foreign
    Minister of Slovenia which currently holds the EU presidency, the RA
    government's press office reported.

    The delegation includes European Commission for External Affairs and
    ENP Benita Ferrero-Waldner, EU Envoy for the South Caucasus Peter
    Semneby and other officials.

    Welcoming the guests, the PM stated that Armenia highlights relations
    with the EU member states and works for their consolidation. He also
    expressed satisfaction with the ENP Action Plan implementation.

    For his part, Mr Rupel said the current visit helped to understand
    regional problems. "We just wish our South Caucasian friends were
    friends for each other as well. We held discussions on a wide scope
    of issues, including the EU-Armenia relations, the forthcoming
    presidential elections, the Nagorno Karabakh conflict as well as the
    Armenian-Turkish relations. The European Union wants to strengthen
    ties with Armenia and extension of Mr Semneby's mandate is the evidence
    of this intention," he said.

    Ms. Ferrero-Waldner remarked that a great deal of work has been
    done within the Action Plan and there is still much to be done. "The
    Action Plan is extremely useful for bringing Armenia close to European
    standards," she said.
