Armenia welcomes the EU Foreign Affairs Council’s decision to start negotiations around visa liberalization with Armenia, Deputy FM Paruyr Hovhannisyan told reporters, ARMENPRESS reports.
Hovhannisyan said that the visa liberalization is one of the most difficult issues on the Armenia-EU agenda.
“The decision of the EU foreign ministers’ council relates to starting negotiations around visa liberalization with Armenia. The process has thus started. What matters is that no country objected to that, because ensuring consensus is difficult. This is a very positive development. We will continue to actively work with the EU and member states in order to maximally accelerate this process,” Hovhannisyan said.
