It is also evident from the public information that Armenia and the EU are reviewing the relations recently and these days, and are revising the agenda covering these relations in a positive sense. Armenia's Minister of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan said about this during the Parliament-Government question-and-answer session, answering the question of Mary Galstyan, deputy of the 'Civil Contract' faction, in which directions of revisions of the Armenia–EU Comprehensive and Extended Partnership Agreement (CEPA) signed between Armenia and the European Union are planned, and at what stage is the implementation process.
"We have a fundamental document, the CEPA, and the CEPA already predetermines specific actions or directions, but when I say that a review is taking place, I mean the following: issues are now being discussed and processes will take place that go beyond what CEPA provides.
There are a number of such tools: the start of the visa liberalization dialogue, which if we have with the EU, is planned by the CEPA, or other instruments.
We have the political will on both sides to deepen our relationship. The fields are diverse and are also reflected in the same press release of April 5, from aviation to economic diversifications, to approximation of markets, raising of qualities, standards - political, economic," said Ararat Mirzoyan, explaining that purely technically we do not have a new contract and we do not sign, and therefore the actions resulting from the contract will not change, but the contract does not limit us to have other additional joint actions, joint programs.
"In other words, we will continue CEPA in the direction of full implementation and in parallel we introduce other, no less important, elements to the agenda of our bilateral relations," he said.
