YEREVAN. - Armenian parliamentary delegation must form a new agenda
for discussions with EU lawmakers, ARF Dashnaktsutyun member Aghvan
Vardanyan said during a press conference in Yerevan.
He commented on the results of the meeting of EU-Armenia Parliamentary
Cooperation Committee that took place in Strasbourg on February 5-6.
"We want to form a new agenda that would not conflict with our new
relationship with the EU. Do not forget in the past we had a resolution
of the European Parliament which contained not pro-Armenian wordings
on Karabakh," Vardanyan noted. Besides, EU and Armenia have not signed
the joint statement.
"Of course, we all understand that the reasons could be different. But
we must remember that it is for the first time when Armenia did not
sign a statement with EU in parliamentary format. And this happened
after Armenia expressed a desire to join the Customs Union," Vardanyan
explained.
In regard, it is necessary to inform European partners about the
essence of Armenia's cooperation with the Customs Union not to lose
friends among European parliamentarians.
