/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The European Union will develop relations with all
member countries of the Eastern Partnership, said Raul de Luzenberger,
head of the European Commission delegation to Armenia.
"We are waiting for the partner states’ proposals to discuss them
early next year. The European Union and the European Commission have
opened a dialog with these countries," he said.
"We understand that to implement the essential reforms, the public,
authorities and opposition should demonstrate political will and
constructive approach. So, we do offer our assistance," Mr. de
Luzenberger said, adding that presently Armenia is carrying out a
reform of the legal system for which 17 million euro is supposed to
be assigned.
"All this is a part of Eastern Partnership program. We know that it’s
a long process and time is needed for any tangible result," he said.
