Mher Grigoryan: The Armenian authorities confirm their readiness to continue constructive and institutional dialogue with the Armenia-EU civil society platform

ArmInfo. The Armenian authorities confirm their readiness to continue constructive and institutional dialogue with the Armenia-EU Civil Society Platform. This was stated in a video address by Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan to the participants of the 9th meeting of the EU-Armenia Civil Society Platform, held in Brussels.

The address, distributed by the government's press service, notes that 2026 is an important milestone in deepening relations with the EU. "First of all, I would like to emphasize that the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement, which forms the foundation of our cooperation, continues to play a key role in the development of democratic reforms and sectoral cooperation. In turn, the Armenia-EU Strategic Partnership Agenda gives new impetus to this cooperation, viewing the Agreement as a reform plan aimed at modernizing the country. I am confident that the discussions will reflect the conclusions reached at the first Armenia-EU Summit, held this year in Yerevan. The Joint Declaration adopted following this historic event reaffirmed the EU's commitment to supporting Armenia's sovereignty, resilience, and reform agenda," the Deputy Prime Minister noted. He added that the effective implementation of all achievements requires continuous work, transparency, ongoing monitoring of reforms, and enhanced public accountability. "In this context, I would like to particularly emphasize the role of the EU-Armenia Civil Society Platform as an institutional mechanism provided for by the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement. Your professional opinions and reports are very useful for identifying problems, assessing progress, identifying solutions, and outlining next steps," Mher Grigoryan emphasized.
