"EU is primarily interested in developing democracy, eliminating
corruption and establishing the rule of law in Armenia, we share
common values with Armenia, we are committed to democracy, human
rights and the rule of law." These values are at the heart of the new

framework agreement between Armenia and EU as taking place in a
natural way and as usual. According to him, the parties are doing
everything to ensure that this document was signed during the upcoming
