Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian has issued a statement, welcoming the adoption of a mandate to launch new talks with Armenia.
“We attach importance to the decision of the EU Council to provide the European Commission with a mandate to open negotiations with Armenia on the creation of a new legal basis,” Minister Nalbandian said.
“We are hopeful that the documents to be worked out as a result of the negotiations will best express the depth of Armenia-EU mutually beneficial cooperation, reflect the joint commitment to raise our relations to a new level and outline the comprehensive partnership in all areas of mutual interest,” the Minister stated.
