Breaking News... Armenia

As I key in this email, a press conference is taking place announcing the successful Eastern Partnership initiative of the European Union with Armenia about to sign the agreement today.

Donald Tusk who started this press conference, ended with the words that the EU would recognise the territorial integrity of all those who sign up. 

Azerbaijan is still negotiating with the EU but it sounded that they may have scored a diplomatic victory with the Tusk sign-off. There was mention of frozen conflicts that held the region back and the EU's values for human rights etc - but these preceded the last sentence.

We await further news and analyses with concern.
