The statement of French President Francois Hollande about Armenia-EU relations was strong and convincing for Armenia, Head of EU Delegation to Armenia Traian Hristea told reporters on Wednesday. 

Mr Hollande said during his recent state visit to Armenia that Armenia’s decision to join the Customs Union “should be supported and encouraged by the European Union and the European Union should understand that Armenia lives in unique conditions and needs to get involved in a process leading to integration to the European Union.”

“We expect to fulfill our joint commitments. I believe that the Eastern Partnership Program, as a cornerstone of bilateral cooperation, will be a very important initiative which we will implement by joint efforts,” Traian Hristea said.

According to him, consultations are underway between the European Union and the Armenian authorities to find ways for implementation of the agreements reached at the Vilnius summit.
