The United Kingdom (UK) has ratified on Monday the EU-Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA), Chairman of the National Assembly Standing Committee Arman Yeghoyan has posted on his Facebook page.

“UK has become the tenth country ratifying the agreement,” Yeghoyan wrote.
“Delighted to confirm UK ratification of EU Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement,” UK Ambassador to Armenia Judith Farnworth has tweeted.

Former MP Armen Ashotyan took to Facebook to clarify that both chambers of the UK parliament have ratified the document last year - the House of Commons ratified the document on July 11 last year and the House of Lords – on July 18, 2018. In Ashotyan’s words the UK ratification has been just confirmed and registered in Brussels by the European Council.

To remind, the EU and Armenia signed the document on the sidelines of the EU Eastern Partnership Summit in November 2017. The agreement was provisionally applied on June 1 in the following year. Thus far the Agreement has fully been ratified by Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Litva, Luxemburg, Latvia, Malta, and Poland.
