Ministers’ troika of the European Union to Armenia, an agreement in
principle has been reached on a final ENP Action Plan text. This is

steps can now be taken in order to prepare the formal adoption of
the Action Plan at the next EU-Armenia Cooperation Council, to be

political co-operation. "The European Union and Armenia are determined
to make use of this occasion to enhance their relations and to promote
prosperity, stability, and security," the statement reads.
