PanARMENIAN.Net – The head of the EU Advisory Group believes Armenia
must introduce certain changes in coordination of European Integration
activities.

At the conference titled “Eastern Partnership: National and European
Developments”, Antti Hartikainen urged against fragmentation of
functions in European Integration activities. “To optimize results,
Armenia should centralize relevant activities in one structure,”
he said.

Dwelling on current stage of Armenia-EU negotiations, Hartikainen
noted creation of free trade zone among priority issues.

“Despite positive results Armenia has shown over the last months,
both Yerevan and EU must intensify activities in the framework of
Eastern Partnership and Association Agreement,” Hartikainen concluded.
