/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia has proceeded with the policy of integration
into European structures in 2008, says the annual report issued by
the RA Foreign Ministry.

The Eastern Partnership initiative offered by the European Commission
in December 2008 promises to bring the Armenia-EU relations up to a
new level.

The visits of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan to Paris and Brussels
also facilitated relations between Armenia and the European Union.

Armenia and the EU signed an agreement on dispatch of an EU expert
group to Armenia to assist the reform process.

Cooperation with the Council of Europe was also continued, the
report says.
