POSITION ON ARMENIA-EU RELATIONS
YEREVAN, June 22. /ARKA/. RA Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan
informed Speaker of the Norwegian Parliament Jorgen Kosmo of the
Armenian authorities' position on the Armenia-EU relations. Premier

means of an individual program approved by the EU Council.
Speaking of regional cooperation, Margaryan stated that Armenia agrees

cooperation programs implemented by all parties without any
preconditions. The RA Premier added that in the context of its
regional policy Armenia is consistently trying to improve its
relations with all its neighbours, including Turkey, without any
