/PanARMENIAN.Net/ One of the significant parts of relations between
Armenia and the European Union is bilateral trade. As is mentioned
in the RA MFA annual report on Armenia’s foreign activities in 2006,
EU is the biggest trade partner of Armenia. In January-September
period of 2006 commodity circulation between the two sides made up
$766 million, which is 12% higher than in 2005.
The document also underlines that during bilateral contacts the
European Union emphasizes the importance of peaceful solution of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
Peter Semneby, the European Union special representative in the
South Caucasus, repeatedly expressed readiness to assist the OSCE MG
Co-Chairs in the process of peaceful solution of the problem. The EU
expressed willingness to participate in the process of post-conflict
period reconstruction, down to stationing of peacemakers. During his
last visit Semneby expressed his readiness to deepen the direct ties
between the EU and NKR.
