Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister, Armenia's chief negotiation in the
Armenia-EU Association Agreement talks Zohrab Mnatsakanyan participated
in the meeting of Eastern Neighborhood Policy senior officials. The
meeting discussed the developments and perspectives of cooperation
between the European Union and the partner countries and determined
the steps to be taken before the Vilnius summit in 2013.
In his opening remarks, EU Commissioner for Enlargement and
Neighborhood Policy Stefan Fule referred to the renewed Eastern
Neighborhood Policy, which stresses the importance of steps the
partner states should take towards reinforcement of democracy,
protection of human rights and rule of law. He said it is based on
the principle of differentiation and "more for more", which means a
stronger partnership with the EU for those countries that make more
progress toward democratic and socio-economic reform. The Commissioner
noted also that President of the European Commission was impressed
by his recent visit to Armenia.
Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan attached
importance to the role of the Eastern Partnership in the development
of Armenia-EU relations and stressed that "Armenia-EU relations are
based on a common value system."
The Deputy FM confirmed the willingness of Armenia to complete the
negotiations on the Association Agreement, including the Deep and
Comprehensive Free Trade Area, before the Eastern partnership summit
in Vilnius in 2013.
Issues of regional security and stability were also touched upon at
the meeting.
