14:30, 13 September, 2013
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS. The EU is ready to strengthen
relations with Armenia, but new directions must be developed for it.
The EU Commissioner responsible for enlargement and European
neighbourhood policy Štefan Fule stated this at the course of the
press conference held within the 3rd informal meeting of the foreign
ministers of the Eastern Partnership states. As reports "Armenpress"
Štefan Fule underscored: "I don't think that we'll manage to develop
new directions before the Vilnius Summit, notwithstanding we are
hopeful that we'll find some wayouts at the course of the summit."
Among other things he noted that Armenia will not be able to pre-sign
the agreement, for which the sides have been negotiating for many
years. In addition the EU Commissioner responsible for enlargement
and European neighbourhood policy Štefan Fule highlighted that the
Association Agreement is one package, which involves the agreement
on the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) and they cannot
be separated.
In the result of the negotiations on September 3, 2013 in Moscow
the Presidents Sargsyan and Putin confirmed the aim of the Republic
of Armenia and the Russian Federation in the direction of further
development of economic integration processes in the Eurasian
territory. In that context the President of the Republic of Armenia
Serzh Sargsyan announced about the Armenia's decision to join the
Customs Union and the necessity of implementation corresponding steps
for that aim and in future about participating in formation of the
Eurasian economic union. The President of the Russian Federation
Vladimir Putin expressed his support to the abovementioned decision
of Armenia and informed about the readiness of the Russian side to
support the process.
