President Robert Kocharian had the recurrent meeting with Ambassadors
of EU member states accredited in Armenia on January 30th.
Noting that Armenia is facing a responsible period, the President
expressed willingness to respond to the questions the diplomats were
interested in and listen to their opinions and remarks.

as positive adding that the relations have become more coordinated. He
said his recent visit to Brussels was very productive. Concrete
programmes of cooperation were discussed during the visit. According

its best for the election process not to affect the practical work.
"The reforms continue and will continue," he underlined.

again stressed the political will of the authorities to hold the
election in compliance with international standards.
Afterwards the President gave clarifications about the issues the

process and the developments in the Karabakh conflict resolution.
