On Sept. 19, during his visit to Brussels, Armenian Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsyan met with European Commissioner for Enlargement and
European Neighborhood Policy Stefan Fule. According to an Armenian
government statement, the parties discussed issues related to
implementing joint programs and reforms in Armenia.
After their meeting, Sargsyan and Fule held a joint press conference
where the European official said that frequent contact between the
parties (in this case, Armenia and the EU) is in line with expanding
the reform agenda in Armenia.
"I am happy to declare that the European Commission recently made a
decision to begin talks on the readmission agreement and simplifying
the visa regime with Armenia. The EU consulting group will continue to
support the Armenian authorities to execute reforms in the important
sector of the Association Agreement," said Fule.
He further added that the more Armenia makes reforms, the more
assistance it will receive from the EU - toward implementing those
reforms.
"The condition 'More for More' will work for all our neighbors. Those
states that truly go down the road of thorough reforms can expect
more from the European Union - including by way of finances. If
Armenia maintains current trends, it will be well positioned to be
one of the candidates for the highest position to take advantage of
the principle of 'more for more'," he said.
