    EASTERN PARTNERSHIP SUMMIT: ARMENIA TO COLLABORATE WITH EU WITHOUT SIGNING ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT

    19:56 13.09.13

    The EU Eastern Partnership countries' two day non-official summit
    in Yerevan was held in a tense atmosphere, with Armenia's foreign
    minister and the European commissioner for enlargement reiterating an
    earlier position on the incompatibility of the Association Agreement
    with the Eurasian Customs Union integration plans.

    Meanwhile, two of the member states - Georgia and Moldova - declared
    their intention to sign the Association Agreement at the next EP summit
    set to take place in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius in November. The
    Ukrainian representative said his country will have a success at the
    meeting given that the plan has attracted joint efforts by both the
    opposition and the government.

    Speaking at the summit, Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian reaffirmed the
    country's willingness to continue the cooperation with the EU.

    Štefan Fule, European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighborhood
    Policy, promised in turn the Union's best efforts to maintain the
    partnership relations with Armenia.

    He said that the partner states' policies reflect their real
    ambitions and commitments to the values and principles underpinning
    the collaboration.

    A key message in his speech was a call on the EU to respect the
    partner country's (Armenia's) decision to integrate into the Eurasian
    Union. Fule said that the Union will stand by the parner states
    facing what he called undue pressures by Russia in terms of joining
    the Russian-led Union.
