"Hayk's Arrow" Armenian Strategic Center

Records

A sourced record of Armenia–EU diplomacy, agreements, reforms, mobility, economic support and security cooperation.

Counting & sources

This is a curated register, not an exhaustive count of every meeting or EU-funded activity. Each record has one primary category. Repeated reports, translated copies and individual clauses do not create extra events. A single programme’s successive legal, funding and implementation stages may be recorded separately when independently dated. Gaps do not establish inactivity.

Event dates drive the charts; later publication dates are retained separately. A national law expressing European aspirations is not an EU decision granting candidate status. Visa facilitation, a liberalisation action plan and visa-free travel are different legal stages. Announced or approved assistance is not treated as disbursed funding. Assessments establish what the issuing institution reported, not independent proof of every outcome.

Armenia leaves GSP+ under income criteria

Economy & supportEntered into force

Economy & support · Trade

Armenia ceased to benefit from GSP and GSP+ following its sustained upper-middle-income classification.

Regulation 2021/114 specifies 1 January 2022. The legal reason was the World Bank income classification for three consecutive years, not a finding that Armenia left CEPA.
