Armenia remains committed to forging closer links with the European Union despite joining a Russian-led alliance of ex-Soviet states earlier this year, President Serzh Sarkisian reiterated on Tuesday.
Sarkisian spoke of a continuing "dynamic development" of EU-Armenia relations as he addressed a session in Yerevan of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly of lawmakers from the EU member states and ex-Soviet republics involved in the Eastern Partnership program.
"We act on the premise that it is possible to combine Armenia's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), along with all obligations stemming from that, with a deep and extensive [common] agenda with the European Union," he said. "Furthermore, we will try to find points of convergence and foster cooperation and dialogue through forging close ties with various integration processes."
