ArmInfo. Armenia and the European Union continue their high- level political dialogue, as stated by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Strasbourg on March 11 at a joint briefing with President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola.
Pashinyan called the EU and the Council of Europe the "House of Democracy." "We feel the need to return to the "House of Democracy" from time to time to synchronize our democratic reform clocks with those of the Democracy House, to ensure that our democratic reform process is on the right track, at the right speed, and in the right direction. We are honored to have the support of the EU and the Council of Europe on the path of democratic reform," the Armenian Prime Minister said. According to him, the most important thing is that the law on Armenia's EU accession process was adopted and entered into force in 2025, opening a new historic stage in relations between Armenia and the European Union. This is a new impetus for Armenia to continue its democratic reform process, he noted.
"Armenia and the EU have adopted a new strategic agenda that elevates our relations to a new level. Currently, we are actively negotiating on the topic of visa liberalization," the Armenian Prime Minister said. He also stated that during this period, Armenia has also received support through the European Instrument for Peace.
"The EU Civilian Observer Mission continues its activities in Armenia, the role of which is difficult to overestimate. In general, our high-level political dialogue continues and is being carried out at the level of the executive branch, the legislative branch, and at the civil society level. I am also pleased to note that we have an extensive agenda of economic partnership. I would like to thank you once again for this invitation and opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you at the European Political Community summit in Yerevan in early May," Prime Minister Pashinyan concluded.
