Armenia is developing a new cooperation document with the European Union, it is planned to sign it by July, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Paruyr Hovhannisyan said this at the meeting of the Standing Committee on European Integration Issues of the National Assembly.
If the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement between Armenia and the EU is fully implemented, we will indeed have the status of a candidate country for EU membership. In addition to this, new directions of cooperation and new programs are being developed, which emerged as a result of a fact-finding mission that took place in November of last year.
Now, alongside these two processes and the expression of our political rapprochement, a new document is being developed. Certain issues regarding it have been discussed at the Armenia-EU Partnership Council and at other working levels. We expect to receive a new draft in May, which should probably be adopted by July," said Hovhannisyan.
