"This will not be my last visit. I am pleased with the progress in bilateral relations," EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton told at a joint news conference with the Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian.
The minister said that there had been many opportunities to meet in the European capitals and he was very glad to welcome Ashton in Yerevan. This is the first visit of the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy to Armenia. "We are glad that the relations between Armenia and the EU are developing dynamically. These relations are based on the same system of values," Nalbandian said.
In a week the sitting of the EU-Armenia cooperation council will take place in Brussels during which steps toward reinforcement of Armenia-EU relations will be discussed. The minister said Armenia may clearly state that these relations are really actively developing.
Ashton expressed her delight connected with the progress in the Armenia-EU relations. "I think we have really registered a big progress in reinforcement of these relations," she noted.
