/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia’s European movement has launched EU visa
regime facilitation action.

In this connection, Armenia’s European movement issued a statement
which can be supported by the citizens of Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine,
Azerbaijan. Belarus and EU states.

"We, the citizens of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus,
Moldova and EU ask the Member states of the European Union and the
European Union to offer all six EaP countries roadmaps towards visa
free regimes and waive visa fees as soon as possible. As a first step
simplify/streamline visa procedures and provide multiple-entry long
term visas," the statement says.

As it was noted in the statement, Eastern Partnership states realize
the reasons based on which Europe justifies visa provision-related
difficulties. "Much has to be done to alter this situation. Yet,
increase in communication between EU and Eastern Partnership states
may have a positive effect on strengthening of their ties," the
statement concludes.
