Hungary wants Armenia to strengthen the relations with the European Union, Hungarian President Katalin Novák said at a joint press conference with the Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan in Budapest on Tuesday, February 6.

"We want Armenia to strengthen its relations with the European Union,” Armenpress cited Novák as saying.

“You can count on us. When Hungary takes over the presidency of the European Union in July, we will do everything to support Armenia and its relations with the EU, as well as to advance the visa liberalization process for Armenia."

According to Novák, the European Union should strengthen its relations with the South Caucasus, and Hungary can be useful in that regard.
