He commented on the recent statements that were made by Sweden's
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl Bildt.
"Sweden and Poland have begun the process, but all 28 EU member
countries have their own views. So, we continue to work with the EU,
whereas separate views cannot be considered the official position of
the European Union," Sahakyan said.
To note, Carl Bildt had written on his Twitter account that the
initialing of the abovementioned agreement is removed from the agenda.
This was a reaction to the fact that following the talks that were held

Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin, Sargsyan had announced that Armenia plans
to join the Customs Union and subsequently engage in the formation
of the Eurasian Economic Union.
