The EU is conducting consultations with the Armenian side to learn what
their intentions are and what impact its recent decision might have
on the Association Agreement, including the DCFTA, Lithuanian FM said.

Linas Linkevicius said EU sees the recent decision of Armenia to join
the Customs Union in the context of the pressure that Russia has been
and still is exercising not only on Armenia, but also on other partner
countries, Armenian News-NEWS.am learnt from the press office of the
Lithuania’s presidency.

“We see the Association agreement, including its DCFTA part, as
providing a framework for the comprehensive modernisation and reform,
based on shared norms and values.

We remain firmly committed to the partnership with Armenia, also in
the framework of the Eastern Partnership, and will continue supporting
comprehensive reform processes in Armenia as well as in other partner
countries,” the Foreign Minister said.
