ArmInfo.To date, there are no major obstacles to the signing of a framework agreement between Armenia and the European Union. This was announced on September 13 in Yerevan by the director of the Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan. <The document is ready for signing, otherwise it would not have been initialed. The EU gave its consent, there are no obstacles from the Armenian side either. The possibility of signing an agreement in Brussels in November is great, "the expert said.
The political scientist noted that the document from the domestic political point of view is of great importance. "As for the foreign policy significance, this document will regulate Armenia-EU relations, the old agreement is very outdated. But you do not need to overestimate the importance of this document, since after signing it the world will not turn over. Three countries have already signed the agreement - Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, and as you know, they did not turn sharply into Switzerland. This will be a step towards the development of our bilateral relations, "the expert said.
Iskandaryan is also convinced that Armenia's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC) creates obstacles to the signing of this document. The political scientist recalled that the new agreement was developed on the basis of the old (Association Agreement-Ed.) And it took into account all the contradictions that were in 2013, after Yerevan decided to join the EAEC.
Answering the question about the likelihood of Armenia's withdrawal from the EAE, initiated by the parliamentary faction of the Yelk, the political scientist noted that it is obvious to all that Armenia will not leave the …Ђќ‘. <And understand the meaning of this <media bubble>. Minority parties that got into parliament as a result of a number of circumstances and possessing a small electoral resource should get access to voters. And this is one of such access tools - voicing questions that cause a violent reaction in society and thereby attract the attention of the voter, "Iskandaryan concluded.

ArmInfo. After Armenia signs a framework agreement with the European Union, and for all preconditions, it will become the only state that, as a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, has signed an agreement on cooperation with the EU. French Ambassador to Yerevan Jean-Francois Charpentier told journalists in Yerevan on September 12, referring to the statement of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan regarding the fact that the European Union announced in 2013 that it is impossible to continue the interaction after Yerevan announced its intention to join the EEU. The diplomat urged not to look back and look towards the future. "Naturally, one can not be simultaneously in two completely different integration projects. However, this does not mean that an independent and sovereign state can not make its own independent choice of the way of its development. But I want to emphasize one thing, on the day when the Armenia-EU framework agreement is signed, and I believe that there are all prerequisites for this, the RA will become the only state that, being a member of the EEA, signed an agreement on cooperation with the EU. And the new Armenia-EU agreement is ambitious enough and opens wide opportunities for Yerevan, "the diplomat said.
