Armenia and EU reach understanding on scope of future relationship at Riga Summit

YEREVAN, MAY 22, ARMENPRESS. We have reached an understanding with Armenia on the scope of our future relationship. As reports “Armenpress”, the President of the European Council Donald Tusk stated this in his concluding remarks at the Eastern Partnership summit in Riga.

“The Eastern Partnership is our framework of engagement that offers closer political association and economic cooperation with the European Union. It is based on mutual interests and commitments as well as the free will, sovereignty and independence of all parties.

Today, we all reaffirmed our common interest to continue developing strengthened, closer, differentiated relations with each of our partners to help them become more resilient in the face of increasing challenges to stability and security in the region and to make sovereign choices. Strengthened and more transparent institutions, free from corruption, will make our partners stronger and help us maintain the Eastern Partnership relevant for all. This is the second main message of the summit,” Donald Tusk said.

Among other things, Tusk reflected on the progress made with Armenia and particularly noted: “With regard to mobility issues, we welcome the positive impact the visa-free regime with Moldova has had on travel and people-to-people contacts, with around 500,000 people having benefited from this opportunity during its first year. Progress is also being made with Armenia and Belarus. With regard to Georgia and Ukraine, which are the closest in line to achieve the objective of visa-free travel, President Juncker and myself are determined to be as ambitious as possible in terms of seeing this process to a successful finalisation. But it is of course also up to Georgia and Ukraine to set the pace when it comes to fulfilling the necessary steps.”
