Armenia-EU Relations Dynamically Developed During 5 years

PanARMENIAN.Net - "I am glad with my work as the commission head. I have established close cooperation with the Armenian authorities and it's hard for me to leave. I am impressed to witness the progress of Armenia's economy," said in Yerevan head of the European Commission delegation to Georgia and Armenia Torben Holtze, who is completing his mission today. The diplomat also remarked that the Armenia-EU relations were dynamically developing during the recent 5 years. "These relations started in 1999 with the signing of a partnership program. In 2003 the relations underwent some changes over the appointment of a special representative to the South Caucasus. In 2004 Armenia was included in the EU New Neighborhood program. The Armenia-EU action plan ratified three weeks ago will mark further strengthening of these relations," Mr Holtze said, reports IA Regnum.
