Sona Ayvazyan, Executive Director of TIAC was the moderator of “The Role of the civil society in the implementation of the EU-Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA)” session during the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Conference and the 9th Annual Assembly of EaP CSF held in Tallinn, Estonia on October 25-27.

A number of issues were discussed during the session, including:

  • To what extent can the implementation of CEPA compensate for the lost momentum in deepening the EU-Armenia relations after the 2013 U-turn, and how to reinvigorate the bilateral cooperation at this stage?
  • How the EU and Armenian government see the role and contribution of the civil society in the implementation of CEPA?
  • What is the communication and public awareness raising strategy for promoting the priorities and benefits of CEPA, and what mission is envisaged for the Armenian civil society in this process?
