RIGA, Oct 03, BNS - Starting from January 10, 2013, Armenia will
unilaterally introduce a visa-free regime for the citizens of Latvia
and other EU member states, the Armenian news portal 1in.am reported
on Wednesday.
Armenia will also waive the visa requirement in respect of the
Schengen countries which are not EU members: Iceland, Norway,
Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
The Armenian parliament is scheduled to officially pass the decision
about the visa-free regime at the next meeting on October 4.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry said that switching to the visa-free
regime with the above-mentioned countries did not hold any migration
risks for Armenia.
This new regime will foster tourism development, making visits to
Armenia easier which in its turn will create the necessary conditions
for international relations. It will also help to improve political
and economic environment, thus fostering expansion of business ties
with the EU countries, the Foreign Ministry said.
