Armenia will only benefit from the successful completion of the negotiations on the Armenia-EU Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area, Head of the European Commission’s Directorate General of Trade for Europe and Central Asia Luc Pierre Devigne told a press conference today.
According to the European chief negotiator, the negotiations are proceeding successfully, which inspires hope that the talks can be competed this year.
