NALBANDYAN TO ASHTON: DESPITE CUSTOMS UNION, ARMENIA WANTS TO COOPERATE WITH EU
16:03, October 8, 2013
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan today met with Catherine
Ashton, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and
Security policy of the EU in Brussels.
Ashton noted that the meeting was an opportune occasion for an exchange
of ideas regarding how to collectively strengthen relations between
Armenia and the EU.
Despite Armenia's public readiness to join the Russia-led Customs
Union, FM Nalbandyan said that Armenia wished to explore all possible
directions to facilitate cooperation with the EU, based on the
achievements made on that direction so far.
Referring to the Customs Union, Nalbandyan added that such steps,
however, must not hinder participation in other integration processes
conducive to the interests of Armenia.
In response, Ashton declared that the EU desired to continue to
develop cooperation with Armenia in all directions that correspond
to Armenia's decision to join the Customs Union.
