The president of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, who arrived in Armenia on a two-day visit late on July 3, visited the Armenian National Assembly and took part in the opening of a conference, "Armenia in Europe", on Wednesday. He also visited the Armenian Genocide memorial at Tsitsernakaberd and was scheduled to meet with President Serzh Sargsyan to discuss European Union-Armenian relations and other issues of mutual interest.
In his speeches, van Rompuy welcomed Armenia's integration to promote its intention with Europe based on common values. "The EU is, first of all, shared values. Armenia is a partner that wants to share those values. This will raise our relations to a new level," said van Rompuy at the conference held under the motto "Europe is not geography – Europe is values".
