    "The Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius marks an important step in
    [the] process" of bringing the EU closer to its eastern neighbors
    "by fostering stronger economic, political and cultural ties,"
    said European Parliament President Martin Schulz on the eve of the
    Eastern Partnership summit, according to a press release issued by
    the European Parliament.

    He continued: "I congratulate Moldova and Georgia on the planned
    initialling of the Association Agreements with the EU. I am deeply
    disappointed, however, that Ukraine and Armenia have abandoned plans
    to sign the Association Agreements at the summit. It is especially
    regrettable that the countries' decisions to reconsider their choices
    have been made under external pressure. We should say clearly and
    loudly that the economic and political pressure exerted by Russia
    against our eastern partners is simply unacceptable.

    "I would like to stress that the door of association with the EU
    remains open and that we will never abandon the European hopes and
    aspirations of the peoples of the region."

    The Vilnius summit on Nov. 28-29 includes representatives from the EU
    institutions and member states, as well as the six countries of the
    Eastern Partnership: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova
    and Ukraine, reports the European Parliament.
