YEREVAN, November 27. /ARKA/. Armenia is welcoming “Eastern Partnership” initiative of Poland and Sweden, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakosyan told journalists Thursday. The details of the program have not been made available to the ministry yet, he said.
According to the Deputy Minister, “Eastern Partnership” and “Black Sea Synergy” can give an impetus to cooperation in the region.
Kirakosyan pointed out that the two programs are considered a new cooperation parameter in the communiqué signed by the Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and the Chairman of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso.
“The discussion on the programs will be completed in the European Union soon, and we will be ready to study the opportunities they provide and to continue the cooperation with the EU,” Kirakosyan said.
Poland and Sweden submitted a plan of advanced partnership of the European Union with the East European counties in Brussels. If implemented, the plan will considerably change the EU policy toward the countries that can join the EU in future, particularly Ukraine, Moldova and possibly Belarus. –0—
