Mane Adamyan
“The EU provides support to Armenia through various tools, which can be directed towards improving the quality of infrastructure and targeting specific programs that can become concrete projects in defined sectors and change the situation to some extent.”
Edgar Khachatryan
“There is no other partner that can offer the Republic of Armenia such opportunities to develop serious political components for the advancement of democracy.”
Areg Kochinyan
“The logic of gradually developing Armenia-EU relations is, in large part, a path to a dead end. This means that step-by-step, in sequence, and gradually evolving relations lead us to approximately the same situation as in 2013. That is, it is impossible to undertake the same actions and expect different results. We need a different approach to this issue.”
