"And it is precisely this approach that we lay at the basis of our cooperation, especially with those structures, countries and organizations that have stable examples of what we are striving for. Thus, our cooperation with the EU is due precisely to this imperative - to use the institutional experience and financial assistance of the EU in the development of Armenia.
