Fair elections in Armenia positive aspect for European Integration -MEP

Armenia shows good progress in European Integration as well as a stronger will to boost cooperation with the EU, a member of the European Parliament stated.

In a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Kristian Vigenin noted organization of fair and transparent elections in Armenia as another positive aspect on the way to European Integration, expressing hope for the EP to be invited as an observer.

“Successful fulfillment of reforms in European Integration framework will mean more financing, better access to EU markets and increased mobility for Armenia,” the MEP said.

In this context, the parliamentarian gave positive assessment to free trade zone negotiations, which offer better cooperation terms to both Armenia and EU.

“However, I believe, Armenia will be the one to gain more, with the reforms to be implemented to boost living conditions in the country, and bring it closer to the possibility of EU membership,” the parliamentarian concluded.
