President Serzh Sargsyan today received Johannes Hahn, EU Commissioner
for European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations.
The Armenian President said that continued dialogue with European
partners and senior-level visits provides a good opportunity to
discuss the prospects for development of relations between Armenia
and the European Union (EU) and to exchange views on issues of mutual
concern. In this context, Serzh Sargsyan welcomed Commissioner Johannes
Hahn's visit to our country.
Commissioner Johannes Hahn underscored that he highly values the
current dialogue and cooperation between Armenia and its European
partners. He noted that at present the Strategy Paper on the European
Neighborhood Policy is being reviewed and an active exchange of its
principles is being conducted. According to Commissioner Hahn, among
those important principles is that the EU should adopt an individual
approach to each of its Neighborhood Policy partners through taking
into account and respecting the given country's understanding and
viewpoints on cooperation.
President Serzh Sargsyan said that the cooperation within the framework
of the European Neighborhood Policy is helpful in terms of fostering
reforms in Armenia and thanked all the European organizations for
the assistance rendered hitherto to our country.
Johannes Hahn mentioned that the previous phase of negotiations within
the framework of the EU Eastern Partnership should not be deemed
wasteful, and regardless of further developments, they were useful in
terms of identifying the expectations and the defined standards, as
well as some potential competitive advantages in the European market.
At the meeting, President Serzh Sargsyan and Commissioner Johannes
Hahn also exchanged views on regional issues and challenges, as well as
on the recent developments around the Nagorno Karabakh peace process.
