authorities have done "much work to prepare the Plan of Actions within
the European Neighborhood Policy." She stated it in the course of a
joint press conference with Armenian President Robert Kocharian. She
expressed hope for the Plan to be ready by the latter half of 2006,
when Finland will assume EU presidency. "Armenia shows very serious
approach to European integration," she noted. In his turn R. Kocharian
expressed hope for the parties to come to agreement over the Plan
of Actions by the end of the year. The Armenian leader remarked,
"the process has been protracted, however it is not our guilt." In

reforms in all respects and "Yerevan expects Finland to assume 2-3
directions it is most strong in during EU presidency." The Armenian
and Finnish Presidents noted that the Armenian-Turkish relations and
the Karabakh settlement were discussed in the course of the talks in
Yerevan. T.
Halonen noted she had invited R. Kocharian to visit Finland on an
