President Serzh Sarkisian on Wednesday confirmed his participation in this week's European Union summit in Latvia's capital Riga which could shed more light on the future of the EU's relations with Armenia.
In a statement, Sarkisian's office said he will also hold bilateral meetings with unnamed European leaders on the sidelines of the gathering scheduled for May 21-22.
The main focus of the summit will be on the EU's Eastern Partnership program offering six ex-Soviet states, including Armenia, privileged partnership in return for political and economic reforms. Three of them — Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine — have already signed far-reaching "association agreements" with the 28-nation union in line with that program.
