Political and legislative systems of the above mentioned countries will be identified through the Eastern Partnership, with discussions on urgent issues during the meetings of Euronest Parliamentary Assembly.

Nevertheless, the program can become a competition ground for the countries, which experience problems. And the European Union itself may instigate this competition with adoption of one-sided resolutions, as it happened a couple of months ago.

Besides, it should be clarified whether Armenia and the EU can understand each other adequately. The Armenian society often fancies the EU as Santa Claus with lots of presents – money, investments and projects – that can be gifted for a “good behavior.” A simple question arouses: ‘Why?’ The fact is that, roughly speaking, the European Union seems to exchange money for legislative changes and political reforms. However, progress can’t be achieved unless the society develops correct attitude of mind and the authorities demonstrate political will. The Constitution of the USSR, for example, was the most democratic but, as a matter of fact, the country was a communist dictatorship.

To make the reform process efficient, it should be diversified depending on the peculiarities of the country. Otherwise, it will be rejected by the population. Unfortunately, various international institutions' reports register progress fixed on paper but not in reality.

In general, Armenia-EU relations are evolving. There are cultural and economic ties. Although the Eastern Partnership doesn’t offer a mechanism for problem solution, it gives an opportunity to strengthen political and economic dialogue, apart of regional and international factors.
