Archive ArmeniaArmenian National Platform issues a statement on EU-Armenia relation (27 December 2013) The Armenian National Platform (ANP) of the Eastern Partnership (EaP) Civil Society Forum (CSF) acknowledges the Vilnius Summit as an important event that enabled to “check the realities,” to clearly and adequately formulate the achievements, failures, ambitions, and the degree of responsibility of every individual partner country and the European Union. The Summit finally recorded the failure of the last years' policy of the RA, aiming at association with EU. In fact, refusing from European integration and choosing another integration model, Armenia ended up losing the most noticeable opportunity for taking its statehood on a new qualitative level and stepped on a track full of threats to Armenia’s sovereignty and national security. The possibilities for reforms in democratic institutions, human rights and other spheres became limited as a result the U-turn of the RA authorities.

Armenia: The Eastern Partnership Roadmap to the Vilnius Summit Status Report 14 November 2013 Before the political shock prompted by the agreement on 3 September 2013 of President Serzh Sargsyan to join the Customs Union with Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, there had been signs from state representatives that they recognised the need for civil society monitoring and policy engagement. Nevertheless, government representatives did not take up the invitations to meetings with the EU delegation and civil society representatives. Similarly, the level of EU delegation engagement has not included any significant active efforts to bring government and civil society together, and the content and negotiations around the Association Agreement were clouded in secrecy.
CSF Armenian National Platform, as a platform of free, unrestrained and multi-lateral discussions and debates, will hereafter be more consistent and vigilant in applying the ANP organizational principles, implementing its aims and priorities and selecting/mandating its representatives.
