“The document will enable Armenia to cooperate with the European Union without curbing membership in the Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union,” Desir noted.
Besides meeting with Armenia’s President and Foreign Minister, Desir also held talks with Armenian businessmen and civil society representatives.
Richard Giragosian, founding director of the Regional Studies Center, also met with the French minister. He said that Desir was interested in the process of deepening EU-Armenia relations after an association agreement that the parties had been negotiating on for more than three years failed in 2013 following Armenia’s accession to the EEU.
