President Serzh Sargsyan met with the President of the European People’s Party Wilfried Martens
President Serzh Sargsyan, who is in the Kingdom of Belgium on a working visit, met today with the President of the European People’s Party Wilfried Martens.
President Sargsyan said that meetings with the President of the EPP present a good opportunity to exchange views and ideas on the strengthening of party-to-party ties, as well as to discuss progress of Armenia’s Eurointegration policies, speak about challenges and problems facing Armenia on a global scale.
Using the opportunity presented by the meeting, the President of Armenia once again expressed gratitude for Mr. Marten’s personal assistance in admitting a number of the Armenian political forces, including the Republican Party of Armenia to the EPP. He noted that membership at the EPP, which enjoys all-European popularity, would become a great incentive for the Armenian political parties in their aspiration to fully integrate into the European political field.
At the meeting, Serzh Sargsyan referred also to Armenia-EU dialogue, successful cooperation in different areas with a number of European structures and reforms going on in our country. He also spoke about the results of his visit to Brussels, regional issues and challenges, as well as upcoming parliamentary elections in Armenia. The President of Armenia and President of the European People’s Party reached agreement to use vast experience and counsel of the EPP in conducting elections in Armenia in full compliance with the European standards. President Sargsyan expressed gratitude to Wilfried Martens for his readiness to assist on this issue too.
