The European Parliament’s vote today is another important step in making the EU-Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA) fully ratified, Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan said on Twitter.

“Also thanks to seven states that have ratified by now. Hope to have more good news from other parliaments. The CEPA is in provisional application since June 1,” he added.

MEPs backed today the EU-Armenia deal by 573 votes to 50, with 45 abstentions.

So far, the parliaments of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania, Poland, Luxembourg and Bulgaria have ratified the EU-Armenia agreement.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
