Yerevan /Mediamax/. The decision to suspend diplomatic relations with
Hungary won't affect Armenia-EU talks on Association Agreement.
Anca Paduraru, Press Officer of EU Commissioner for Enlargement and
European Neighborhood Policy Stefan Fule, told Mediamax about this.
When asked about Commissioner Fule's attitude to Armenia's decision
to suspend relations with Hungary, Anca Paduraru said:
"There is nothing more we would like to add compared to what we
have already said in the statement: the EU representatives are in
contact with the relevant authorities and will continue to follow
the situation closely."
Mediamax reports that addressing the meeting of foreign ministers of
"Eastern Partnership" member countries with the EU leaders on July 23,
2012 Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan said that two years
after the start of the negotiations on Association Agreement with the
EU, Armenia made significant progress by agreeing on 28 chapters out
of 29.
"Relying on the positive experience gained during the negotiations
on the Association Agreement we also expect progress in the Deep and
Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) with the EU. Our goal is to
come close to the finish of negotiations before the Vilnius Summit,"
said Edward Nalbandyan.
The Vilnius Summit of the "Eastern Partnership" is due to be held in
fall 2013.
Minister Nalbandyan also said then that the work over the agreements
on visa regime facilitation and readmission is completed and Armenia
expects them to be signed and ratified in the nearest future.
