EU, Armenia Mull New Accord

The European Union and Armenia are currently discussing a new deal that would serve as an alternative to their cancelled Association Agreement, a senior European parliamentarian said on Monday.

"The new agreement that is now being discussed is not an Association Agreement," said Heidi Hautala, the co-president of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly comprising lawmakers from EU member states and ex-Soviet republics involved in the EU's Eastern Partnership program.

"It's a special agreement which, as far as I know, does not even have a name yet. We have to understand what Armenia needs," Hautala told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am) during a Euronest session in Yerevan.
