    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENTARIAN SEES NO OBSTACLES TO SIGNING THE POLITICAL COMPONENT OF THE ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT WITH ARMENIA

    "We will be very happy if Armenia refuses to join the Customs Union,"
    Frank Engel, a Member of the European Parliament and of the European
    People's Party (EPP) in the European Parliament, told reporters,
    in Yerevan, Friday.

    According to the European parliamentarian, the EU will continue its
    cooperation with Armenia. Armenia has a big number of friends in
    the European Parliament and the existing ties are a good basis for
    further cooperation, Engel said.

    Asked why the EU refused to sign the political component of the
    Association Agreement with Armenia, but later signed a relevant
    agreement with Ukraine, Engel said that the process requires a
    gradual approach.

    According to the European parliamentarians, the positions of the all
    the parties must be taken into account.

    "As far as I know, there are no obstacles to signing the political
    part of the Agreement," he said. However, Engel added, the EU has
    faced a complicate situation following Armenia's decision to access
    the Customs Union.

    To recall, on September 3, 2013 in Moscow the Presidents Serzh Sargsyan
    and Vladimir 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. Since
    2010 Yerevan had actively held negotiations on Association Agreement/
    Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area with the European Union. The
    AA/DCFTA was to have been initialed during the Eastern Partnership
    Summit in Vilnius.
