ArmInfo. Armenia-EU negotiations have nothing to do with the EU membership candidacy opportunities. This was stated by Peter Stano, the Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Commission of the European Union, in an interview with the RFE/RL Armenian Service.
"This new partnership agenda actually has nothing to do with Armenia's potential membership candidacy process. The negotiations on the EU-Armenia partnership agenda reflect the mutual desire and will of both sides to do more together-but based on the current relationship. And the current relationship is defined by EU-Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement," he noted.
