The Eastern partnership Civil Society Forum (EaP CSF) has welcomed the conclusion of the negotiations on the new EU-Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement on 28 February in Brussels. Members of the Steering Committee expressed their hope that the signature of the agreement will contribute to closer EU-Armenia cooperation in the near future, but at the same time expressed their concern that the negotiations were conducted without the involvement of the EaP CSF Armenian National Platform and other civil society actors.
