Глава МИД Армении Эдвард Налбаняд принял 5 марта участие в состоявшемся в Праге заседании руководителей внешнеполитических ведомств стран-членов программы ЕС "Восточное партнерство" и Вышеградской четверки. Об этом сообщает пресс-служба МИД РА. На встрече принимали участие верховный представитель по иностранным делам и политике безопасности ЕС Кэтрин Эштон и комиссар по вопросам расширения и европейской политики соседства Штефан Фюле.

В своем выступлении глава МИД РА отметил, что между ЕС и Арменией уже согласованы 24 главы документа Соглашения по Ассоциативному членству, начались переговоры по облегчению визового режима и в ближайшее время начнется переговорный процесс о глубоком и всеобъемлющем соглашении о свободной торговле.

В рамках отдельной беседы Эдварда Налбандяна со Штафаном Фюле были затронуты вопросы повестки дня намеченного на 6 марта визита президента Армении Сержа Саргсяна в Брюссель. Они обменялись мнениями вокруг переговорного процесса по карабахскому урегулированию. Глава МИД РА поблагодарил официальную позицию ЕС, направленную на содействие работы посредников в рамках Минской Группы ОБСЕ, что нашло свое отражение в общем документе ЕС по глубокому и всеобъемлющему соглашению о свободной торговле со странами Южного Кавказа.

Глава МИД Армении провел встречи со своими коллегами Эстонии и Венгрии. Сегодня же Налбандян направился в Брюссель, где глава армянского государства Серж Саргсян примет участие в заседании "Североатлантический альянс + Армения" и выступит с речью в фонде Конрада Аденауэра. Состоятся встречи Саргсяна с генеральным секретарем НАТО Андерсом Фогом Расмуссеном, председателем Европейской Комиссии Жозе Мануэлем Баррозу, президентом Совета ЕС Херманом Ван Ромпей

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.
