YEREVAN, December 8. /ARKA/. Armenia is situated in Europe, Armenian
Deputy Foreign Minister Armen Bayburdyan said Tuesday in at a press
conference.
In his words, Armenia is on the crossroads between Europe and Asia
as well as between the South and the North.
Bayburdyan pointed out that Armenian nation has had close ties with
both Europe and Asia for a long period of its record.
"However, European ideas have greater impact on Armenia's development
at least because of the fact that Armenians live at every spot of
Europe", he said.
Bayburdyan said that European Union's New Neighborhood policy in
itself gives no guarantees to targeted countries for joining the union,
but envisages not only reformation but also integration into Europe.
Polish Ambassador to Armenia Tomasz Knothe, in his turn, said that
Poland favors European Union's eastward enlargement and confirmed
that Armenia is a European country.
At the same time, he said there are still some problems related to
political, economic development and institutional matters.
