European Commission launched negotiations with Armenia on a new legal format of cooperation, the head of the EU delegation to Armenia said.

As Traian Hristea stressed at the international conference Caucasus 2014, the Eastern Partnership remains the format that allows to share values and help member states in implementation of reforms.

"During the recently completed Eastern partnership summit in Riga, approaches to cooperation with the partners and their involvement into integration processes were reviewed on all levels," Novosti-Armenia quoted Hristea as saying.
