Armenia-European Union Cooperation Committee held in Brussels on
October 25, the Armenian side arose the issue of inappropriate
complication of giving citizens of Armenia entrance visas to the
Schengen agreement countries. Karen Chshmaritian, the RA Minister of
Trade and Economy Development, the Co-Chairman of the RA-EU Cooperation
Committee stated about it at the October 31 press conference. In
his words, giving of entrance visas to the mentioned countries is
implemented with inappropriate delays, even in the case of RA state
servicemen leaving for Schengen agreement countries in the staff of
state delegations.
K.Chshmaritian assured that the European side expressed readiness to
give urgent solution to the issue. In his words, issues of clerifying
procedures of giving ectrance visas were involved in the RA-EU
joint Actions Plan within the framework of the European Neighbourhood
Policy. "The reality is not combined with the policy which is today led
between Armenia and the European Union," the Minister mentioned. He
added that development of relations among countries, especially,
deepening of business and economic ties, is attached importance within
the context of the Actions Plan, and it is simply not possible without
clerifying the procedures on giving entrance visas."
