Armenia is willing to continue to develop close and deep relations
with the European Union in all formats and directions, Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian told reporters after a closed-door
meeting with representatives of parliamentary factions. The Minister
reminded that the issue was discussed with Lithuanian Foreign Minister
in Vilnius and the EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European
Neighborhood Policy in Brussels.
"It was noted in the statement issued after the meeting with
Commissioner Fule that Armenia is willing to continue the broad
cooperation with the European Union on the basis of all positive
achievements reached in the recent years as much as it is appropriate
for the EU and unless it contradicts Armenia's decision to join the
Customs Union," Minister Nalbandian said.
Representatives of parliamentary forces expressed diverse opinions
after the meeting with the Foreign Minister. The ruling majority said
they received answers to all their questions.
Nikol Pashinyan from the Armenian National Congress said he heard no
comprehensive answer. Naira Zohrabyan from Prosperous Armenia Party
said she didn't get what Armenia will gain from the membership in
the Customs Union.
Ex-Foreign Minister Alexander Arzumanyan said the meeting was organized
to say discussions on the issue were held.
Armen Rustamyan representing the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
noted that "Russia is shaping a geopolitical pole and this will not
be restricted to economic cooperation." "Armenia changed its political
vector on September 3," Rustamyan said.
