"Armenia is a nation with a long history, tradition and culture, and was the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as its religion. The Armenia people suffered for a long time during their domination by the Ottomans and Soviets, and are now taking steps to institutionalise Western-style democracy and rule of law. The association agreement will contribute to bringing Armenia even closer to the European model and will cause it to converge with the EU. It falls to Armenia’s leaders and people to follow this path and to the European Union to support this effort, which we hope will be substantial and fruitful. The upcoming presidential elections will constitute an important test of how steadfastly Armenia is opting for Europe and how committed it is to the values of freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. As with Azerbaijan, there are still sensitive issues here, such as that of Nagorno-Karabakh, in which both countries are involved and which will not be definitively resolved without commitment from both parties."@en1
