lpv:translated text	"Association agreements are an important instrument for building and strengthening bilateral relations. Thanks to bilateral contacts, it is not just the EU which can more clearly defend its strategic interests, but the partner country concerned also has the opportunity to present its situation in more detail, adjust bilateral relations to it and, if necessary, develop and improve its political and economic situation. An important aspect is the possibility to enhance political association and socio-economic integration and to develop cultural relations. Armenia has European ambitions and is a country committed to values such as democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights. Examples of this are Armenia’s participation in multilateral parliamentary cooperation in the framework of Euronest and the good pace of reforms being carried out in Armenia. I think it is essential to provide more advanced stimulation of the development of relations with Armenia, so I welcome the report the European Parliament has adopted today, which contains appropriate recommendations for the Commission, the Council and the European External Action Service which, amongst other things, underscore the necessity of creating a framework for the future development of relations with Armenia. The association agreement which is being negotiated will be just such an instrument, one which will enhance political association and will also be a catalyst supporting human rights and democracy. However, during the negotiation process itself, the parties should attend to and strive for solutions to the most urgent questions, such as the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, encouragement to hold systematic consultations with society and the need for democratic elections."@en1
