RIGA, Mar 13, BNS – The members of the Latvian parliament’s Presidium
met with the Armenian parliament’s vice-speaker, Eduard Sharmazanov,
on Friday, the Latvian parliament’s press service reported.
The topicalities of the Latvian Presidency of the Council of the EU
were discussed during the meeting. The Latvian parliament’s
vice-speaker Inese Libina-Egnere stressed that Eastern Partnership,
the EU program for cooperation with the countries along the EU eastern
border, was among the priorities of the Latvian Presidency.

Armenia both on the bilateral and EU level, considering that Latvia

at the Riga Summit, the Armenian parliament’s vice-speaker said.
During the meeting Sharmazanov also presented the Latvian parliament’s
