The Seimas of Lithuania ratified the RA-EU Comprehensive and Extended Partnership Agreement in the 2nd reading. Armen Ashotyan, chairman of the RA NA Standing Committee on Foreign Relations, wrote about this on his Facebook page.

“Actually, 3 out of 27 already. We are waiting for other EU countries and will continue to work in this direction with the full potential of parliamentary diplomacy,” he wrote.

It should be noted that on April 11, the National Assembly unanimously ratified the “Comprehensive and extended partnership agreement between the Republic of Armenia, on the one hand, and the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their member states, on the other hand.” It expresses the depth of RA-EU bilateral relations and regulates political and economic relations.

The agreement also has a special reference to the peaceful and comprehensive settlement of the Karabakh conflict and emphasizes the need to support the efforts and approaches of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, based on the norms and principles of international law, in particular the non-application of the principle of force, the equality of rights and self-determination and territorial integrity of peoples.
