ArmInfo. The signing of the Agreement with the EU will substantially allocate Armenia among the countries of the EAEC, the CSTO and the CIS. Edmond Marukyan, a deputy from the opposition bloc "Elk" expressed a similar opinion during a round table organized by the Armenian Institute of International Affairs and Security.
November 24, 2017 at the Brussels summit of the "Eastern Partnership" Armenia plans to sign a partnership document on the partnership with the EU, which was initialed on March 21 - the Agreement on Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership. The relevant talks were initiated by the Council of Foreign Ministers of the EU on October 12, 2015 in Luxembourg.
"I very much hope that this agreement will be signed in Brussels on November 24, as promised by the Armenian authorities and the European Commission.The Yelk bloc welcomes this initiative and renders it full support, which we believe is the minimum that can be done Yerevan, assessing as a maximum the withdrawal of Armenia from the EEA until the signing of the DCFTA, "the parliamentarian stressed.
Assessing the obligations of the EU and Armenia equally, Marukyan believes that it will be wrong to blame responsibility for the implementation of a particular item of the forthcoming Agreement on each other. According to him, the basis of the existing agreement regulating relations between Yerevan and Brussels is hopelessly outdated and it is the Agreement on Comprehensive and Expanded Partnership that gives a real opportunity to update the agenda of relations between the EU and Armenia.
