Regardless of whether Armenia signs an association deal or some new
document at the upcoming Eastern Partnership summit, cooperation with
the European Union will continue, said ruling Republican Party of
Armenia (RPA) spokesman Eduard Sharmazanov.
Speaking to reporters after the Thursday night meeting of the RPA
executive body, during which, he said, mostly intraparty and internal
political matters were discussed, Sharmazanov did not clarify whether
President Serzh Sargsyan will attend the summit in Vilnius, Lithuania,
on November 28-29 after what many analysts and officials in Brussels
said was an apparent U-turn in Armenia's policy of European
integration connected with the announcement of the decision to join
the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
`I cannot say whether an association agreement, a statement, a
declaration in the old form or a new document would be signed at the
upcoming meeting in Vilnius, but it is our deep conviction that
cooperation will continue and it is necessary for both Europe and
Armenia,' said the RPA spokesman as quoted by RFE/RL's Armenian
Service.
`And the focal point of our dialogue should be freedom of speech and
establishment of democracy,' added Sharmazanov.
