This is not an association agreement. It will be something on a lower level, but I cannot say what it is called,” Asselborn noted. “We made an offer to Armenia and got positive response,” the Minister went on to say. He also stated that no customs privileges would be included in the agreement. "Now we are just developing the project," Asselborn said in response to a request to elaborate on the new agreement.
