    YEREVAN, JUNE 1, ARMENPRESS: Since Armenia's independence cooperation
    with the EU remains one of the prior directions of the country's
    foreign policy, deputy foreign minister of Armenia Karine Ghazinyan
    said in an interview to "Real Policy" program, noting that the
    cooperation has been put on a higher level. According to her, it might
    also be testified by the Brussels visit of the Armenian President
    within the framework of which he had meetings with the heads of
    European establishments as well as with the Belgian authorities.

    "That meeting was important for us in respect that it was taking
    place after a year when the "Eastern Partnership" was launched and in
    high level meetings the president touched upon the results which have
    already been registered and it was also spoken about the issues which
    will appear," the deputy minister said. According to her, the meetings
    of the Armenian president with the heads of European establishments
    were important, as it was the first one after the Lisbon agreement.

    Referring to the association agreement within the framework of the
    "Eastern Partnership", Karine Ghazinyan noted that according to the
    initial information the negotiations in that direction will launch
    from July.

    Speaking about the works on creation of free trade zone,
    Karine Ghazinyan said that in Armenia the deep and comprehensive
    coordination of trade will proceed under the auspices of the Armenian
    Economy Ministry with the coordination of the Foreign Ministry. An
    inter-departmental group has been created headed by Nerses Yeritsyan
    and all the establishments are participating in it.

    As to the steps directed toward the facilitation of entrance visa
    regimes to the EU countries, she noted that Armenia has always
    discussed the process at the negotiations with the European partners.

    She also added that it is intended to establish Armenia-EU
    freedom-justice sub-committee the first session of which will take
    place July 6. The deputy minister expressed conviction that at the
    session concrete events will be discussed and the issue will get
    final solution.
