President Serzh Sargsyan met with the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission Federica Mogherini.

The President of Armenia stated that the meeting with Mrs. Mogherini was taking place at an important for Armenia and the EU juncture: a day before President Sargsyan and President Tusk announced the conclusion of the negotiations on the new framework agreement.

The parties discussed a wide range of issues pertinent to the further development and strengthening of the Armenia-EU relations. The President underscored that it is proper indeed to speak of joint accomplishments of the last two years.

The parties spoke about the reforms carried out in Armenia in different areas, large-scale works implemented after the constitutional changes aimed at the developing and strengthening of democratic institutions in Armenia, as well as about the upcoming parliamentary elections.

The interlocutors discussed the Karabakh peace process, existing problems and concerns.

The President of Armenia spoke in detail about the destructive position of Azerbaijan, about the provocations regularly incited by the Azeris at the contact line with Artsakh and Armenia’s state border, their refusal to implement agreements reached in Vienna and Saint Petersburg, which, according to President Sargsyan, challenges the years-long efforts of the international community aimed at a peaceful resolution of the conflict and the entire peace process.
