Встреча глав МИД стран Восточного Партнерства в Ереване. Комиссар ЕС Фюле дал понять, что без DCFTA невозможно подписать соглашение об ассоциации.

Министры иностранных дел шести стран Восточного партнерства встречаются в Ереване в преддверии саммита в Вильнюсе в ноябре. В встрече также принимает участие Комиссар ЕС по вопросам расширения и политики добрососедства Штефан Фюле.

В интерью армянскому информационному агентству Медиамакс Фюле отрицает, что ЕС предварительно был проинформирован о неожиданном заявлении Армении вступить в Таможенный союз и заявил, что ЕС был проинформирован об этом только 31 августа. Фюле также дал понять, что без DCFTA невозможно будет подписать Соглашение об ассоциации. Он сказал:

"Последовательная позиция ЕС заключается в том, что политическая ассоциация и экономическая интеграция должны идти рука об руку, и они являются неотъемлемыми частями Соглашения об ассоциации. Поэтому, мы не можем разделить два этих важнейших составляющих соглашения."

Встречи в Ереване продлятся до конца пятницы. Среди участников встречи заместитель министра иностранных дел Азербайджана Махмуд Мамед Гулиев.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
