Sargsyan: European agenda is one of priorities of Armenia

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said that the European agenda is a top priority for his country. "We are committed to deepening and further enhancing our cooperation with the EU," TASS cited him as saying.

"We are committed to deepening and further enhancing our cooperation with the EU," TASS cited him as saying."We are of the view that any given Partner’s membership in any structure does not limit its cooperation with other structures. It is for that reason that Armenia, while acceding to the Eurasian Economic Union, continues to be committed to deepening and expanding relations with the EU," the president stressed.“With its balanced policy, Armenia has avoided establishing a new hotbed of tension in the current complicated circumstances of European geopolitics; moreover, it has managed to build its policy on the premises of compatibility, equilibrium and multi-vectored cooperation with various integration systems. These very principles will serve as the basis for the envisaged legal document to govern relations between Armenia and the EU,” Sargsyan said.He also touched on the Karabakh conflict, which “continues to be one of the most serious challenges both to our regional and European security.”
