Armenia, EU to kick off visa liberalization talks As Schinas set to visit Yerevan

European Commission Vice-President Margaritis Schinas is set to arrive in Armenia to initiate discussions on visa liberalization between Armenia and the European Union. 

Schinas’ visit marks the beginning of a dialogue aimed at easing Armenia-EU travel restrictions, Caliber.Az reports via Armenian media.

Armenia needs to implement reforms in such key areas as border security, migration, and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms related to travel.

In July, the EU foreign ministers had agreed to launch the Visa Liberalization Dialogue with Armenia.
