Touching upon cooperation between Armenia and the European Union in the field of agriculture, Maragos noted that the EU supported this area within the framework of a number of programs.

“In the context of the international legal order, legal relations that everyone supports and treats in good faith, Armenia’s resilience is definitely not directed against its neighbors, on the contrary, this resilience and the increase in Armenia’s security level are beneficial to its neighbors,” Maragosemphasized, adding that EU integration in a broader sense also applies to this circumstance.
