OK, thank you. My name is Karine Sargsyan. I'm from Armenia, Factor TV.

Do you think that it is possible to see Armenian fruits and vegetables in the European market at the end of the year?

And second question regarding Progress after the European Union Armenian Summit.

Can we say that it is already progress? Thank you. Thank you.

I must say I didn't catch the first part of your question, if you don't mind rephrasing it.

It is possible to see Armenian fruits and vegetables in the European market at the end of this year.

So you will know that we have and the President, President von der Leyen has announced a number of measures last month when she visited Armenia in terms of supporting its economy, in terms of really bringing Armenia closer to the EU, and as a part of this package, there were Autonomous trade measures,

which could indeed mean that we will have more imports from Armenia in the near future, and you know also that actually, as a, as an immediate measure,

the moment that Russia stopped the imports of flowers overnight,

and it was a big market for Armenia,

the EU stepped in and actually sum of those.

Our powers ended in one of our Member States, so that was the beginning of what we believe will be indeed more trade with Armenia, and we look forward to that,

and all the many projects that are being put into place and were, as you say, announced at the summit,

and we see that we have a good basis on which to build our good relations with Armenia.

Other questions on foreign affairs. I have some online. Mose, go ahead.
