On Monday (9 September), Vice President Schinas (pictured) travelled to Yerevan, Armenia, to launch a visa liberalization dialogue at political level.

Vice President Schinas met with Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan to discuss the launch of the visa liberalisation dialogue and other aspects of the EU-Armenia Partnership Agenda.

The launch of the visa liberalisation dialogue – at political level with Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan – is a strong signal from the EU and its Member States of their determination to deepen the already strong EU-Armenia partnership. The aim of this dialogue is to eventually lift the visa requirement for Armenian citizens for short stays in the EU once the Armenian authorities have implemented substantial reforms in key areas such as security of travel documents, border, migration and asylum management, public order and security, and fundamental rights related to freedom of movement. As experience with other third countries has shown, this dialogue with Armenia will be a multi-annual process that will be undertaken in close cooperation with EU member states in order to monitor progress and the evolution of reforms.

During his stay, Vice-President also engaged in a discussion with students of Yerevan University on the substantial progress achieved recently in EU-Armenia relations and the prospects for deepening these relations on the basis of shared values.
