Armenia will benefit from Lithuania's EU Chairmanship, because Lithuania is interested in the Armenia-EU active cooperation, Stepan Grigoryan, Head of the Analytical Center on Globalization and Regional Cooperation, said at a press conference on Tuesday.
He thinks that much depends on the countries presiding in the EU. "Lithuania is interested in initialing of the Armenia-EU Association Agreement, because it wants to establish and strengthen relations with all the Eastern partners", he said.
Unlike other political experts, Grigoryan believes that it is reasonable to publish the documents after the negotiations and make adjustments if necessary.
To note, Lithuania assumed the EU Chairmanship on July 1. President of Lithuania Dalia Grybauskaite said that one of the Lithuania's EU Chairmanship priorities would be the EU's relations with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. She expressed hope that Association Agreements and documents on Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area would be signed with the specified countries.
