Yerevan/Mediamax/. Today's two official press releases can indicate
that Armenia and European Union won't manage to complete the talks
on the Association Agreement before the Eastern Partnership Summit
in Vilnius.
First of all, the press release on Deputy Armenian Foreign Minister
Zohrab Mnatsakanyan's visit to Lithuania reads that "the sides
expressed the hope that Armenia's substantial achievement on the
Association Agreement will be registered at the Vilnius Summit due
to be held in November".
It was registered at the session of the Interdepartmental Commission on
Coordination of Cooperation with European Structures held in Yerevan
today that "as for the signing of the Association Agreement, there
is substantial progress and the works are realized at normal paces
which makes us suppose that the Agreement will be signed in late 2013".
It should be noted that during the Eastern Partnership senior
officials' meeting in Brussels in December 2012, Zohrab Mnatsakanyan
reiterated Armenia's readiness to complete the talks on the Armenia-EU
Association Agreement including the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade
Area before the Vilnius Summit.
