Armenpress
YEREVAN, MAY 5, ARMENPRESS: A senior EU diplomat told a news conference
today in Yerevan that a plan of actions to deepen relations between
Armenia and the EU within the frameworks of European Neighborhood
Policy should be ready by the end of the year.
Heiki Talvitie, an EU special representative for the South Caucasus,
said the EU attaches great importance to stronger cooperation with
the region's countries, but added that its focus now is on Georgia
rather, following the 'rose revolution" there. Talvitie said the three
countries of the region have now to do their homework and develop
a plan of actions that will outline the main goals and the tasks of
future cooperation.
According to the diplomat, each of the countries will be approached
separately and added that the European Neighborhood Policy does not
envisage the region's countries' full integration with the European
Union.
Talvitie also said the EU is interested in a soonest resolution of the
Nagorno Karabagh problem, as this conflict hampers the development
of the region and stressed the importance of talks between Armenia
and Azerbaijan on the level of foreign ministers.
