Armenia and Europe should find the optimal form of cooperation that
will not run contrary to the Customs Union, Naira Zohrabyan, Head of
the Armenian Parliament Committee for European Integration, MP from
Prosperous Armenia Party, said at a conference "Four Years of the
Eastern Partnership: Results and Challenges" in Yerevan, Wednesday.
"Further cooperation with the EU is so far obscure for me. Actually,
we will be cooperating in the field of supremacy of the law, human
rights protection, and anti-corruption fight. There is need for a
new vector of cooperation now," she said.
According to Zohrabyan, Armenia's foreign policy has obviously changed
after 3 September. She complained that as an MP she has not seen the
text of the
Association Agreement and does not know what would Armenia gain by
signing it.
"If the document contains provisions that constitute threat to Nagorno
Karabakh and our country, as some experts claim, so why we had been
negotiating for it with Europe for 4 years," she said.
