Anca Paduraru, Press Officer of EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy Stefan Fule, told Mediamax about this.
When asked about Commissioner Fule’s attitude to Armenia’s decision to suspend relations with Hungary, Anca Paduraru said:
“There is nothing more we would like to add compared to what we have already said in the statement: the EU representatives are in contact with the relevant authorities and will continue to follow the situation closely.”
Addressing the meeting of foreign ministers of “Eastern Partnership” member countries with the EU leaders on July 23, 2012 Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan said that two years after the start of the negotiations on Association Agreement with the EU, Armenia made significant progress by agreeing on 28 chapters out of 29.
“Relying on the positive experience gained during the negotiations on the Association Agreement we also expect progress in the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) with the EU. Our goal is to come close to the finish of negotiations before the Vilnius Summit,” said Edward Nalbandyan.
The Vilnius Summit of the “Eastern Partnership” is due to be held in fall 2013.
