"An association agreement between the EU and Armenia is in the interests of both parties. We in the EU have a stake in a stable and democratic Armenia, while Armenia has European aspirations of its own. Therefore, this report is important for laying the foundations of negotiations. A crucial factor in these negotiations are the elections, which are to be held on 6 May of this year, and it is right that the proper conduct of these elections plays a vital part in the future development of EU-Armenia relations. However, as the report points out, this also includes plurality, freedom of political discourse, free speech and media and freedom of assembly throughout the entire election process. A second important factor must also be the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and I am happy that this report addresses that issue. I fully support confidence-building measures such as demilitarisation, as well as human rights measures such as the right of all internally displaced persons and refugees to return to their homes. I am therefore happy to vote in favour of this report, which is based upon such strong recommendations."@en1
