Armenia continues to participate at the highest political level
in the multilateral institutions of the Eastern Partnership, Steven
Blockmans, senior research fellow, the head of the 'EU foreign policy'
and 'politics and institutions' units of the Centre for European
Policy Studies CEPS (Belgium), said at the internet press conference
organized by "Region" Research Center.
"The annual EU-Armenia Cooperation Council remains in place and
continues to provide a platform for high-level talks between the
Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian and High
Representative Federica Mogherini, European Commissioner Johannes Hahn,
and the Minister of Foreign Affairs holding the rotating Presidency
of the Council of the EU (currently Latvia). Armenia also continues
to participate at the highest political level in the multilateral
institutions of the Eastern Partnership," Mr Blockmans said.
When asked about the prospects of Armenia - EU relations in light of
the reorganization of the EU Neighborhood policy, he said that now it
is difficult to predict how much of the Association Agreement can be
salvaged in order to replace the outdated Partnership and Cooperation
Agreement. "In addition, I can say that the EaP summit at Riga will
provide the first elements for the review of the European Neighborhood
Policy which is expected to be unveiled in October."
