    EU AND ARMENIA HAVEN'T STOPPED INTEGRATION PROCESS

    The European Union didn't sign an associate membership agreement
    with Armenia in the framework of the Vilnius summit of the eastern
    Partnership due to the country's plans to join the Customs Union of
    Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, even though the agreement has already
    been drafted and approved by both parties.

    The parties said however that they weren't going to stop the
    integration process and that mutual cooperation would continue.

    Vestnik Kavkaza discussed EU-Armenian relations with the head of the
    Caucasus Institute, Alexander Iskanderyan.

    According to the expert, the EU and Armenia failed to sign an agreement
    only due the country's ties with Russia. He underlines however that
    this doesn't mean that Armenian isn't going to continue its European
    integration.

    "That's the main tendency in Armenian foreign policy - to be flexible.

    The country is trying to be on good term with all parties," he says.
