Forecast: If we do nothing ourselves, the agreement with the EU will  not give us anything

ArmInfo. If we do nothing ourselves, the agreement with the EU will not give us anything, - the head of the analytical center "Alternative" Tatul Manaseryan is  convinced.

On November 24, Armenia signed the Agreement on Comprehensive and  Enhanced Partnership with the EU on the margins of the Eastern  Partnership Summit in Brussels. Signatures under the agreement in the  presence of RA President Serzh Sargsyan and the chairman of the  European Council Donald Tusk were put by the RA Foreign Minister  Edward Nalbandian and the head of European diplomacy Federic  Mogerini.

"In the same Europe, in the same EU, there are many examples of both  correct and incorrect use of the opportunities and rules of the game  of the all-European market, therefore everything depends primarily on  ourselves, since the consideration of the agreement signed in  Brussels as a panacea for the decisive problem of Armenia is  erroneous Such an attitude can not lead to anything tangible, "the  analyst is convinced.  Meanwhile, according to his forecasts, the  signing of the Agreement with the European Union for Armenia is an  excellent opportunity to deepen and really fill the existing  cooperation. According to Manaseryan, the Agreement institutionalizes  and consolidates the already existing trade privileges and  preferences of Armenia in relations with the EU.

The agreement on a comprehensive and expanded partnership has already  become public. The accent in the extensive 357-page document is put  on the affirmation of justice, freedom, security in Armenia;  reforming the Constitution and the judiciary; observance of human  rights and fundamental freedoms, etc. All this is provided that the  European Union participates in financing various projects in Armenia.
