/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Poland can be a bridge between the European Union
and South Caucasus states, a Polish official said.
A matter of common concern could unite the three republics, although
Armenia and Azerbaijan need time to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict. For its part, Georgia needs to maintain sovereignty, as
return of the breakaway territories in unreal," Jan Rokita Former
chief of the Prime Minister Chancellery, said during 'European Union
and South Caucasus - A Security Partnership?' international conference
in Yerevan today.
"Three aspects are vital here. First, you should support each
other. Otherwise, third states will attempt to push forth their
own interests while settling your problems. Second, the blockade of
Armenia should be lifted with further inclusion of the republic in
all regional projects. In this respect, deployment of international
peacekeepers in the Karabakh conflict zone would be useful. Third,
all of three countries should be included in the Eastern Partnership,"
Mr. Rokita said.
Poland can be a bridge between the European Union and South Caucasus
states, according to him.
Touching about Poland-Armenia relations, he said, "We have 600 years
of common history. Back in the 14th century, Polish king Kazimir the
Great granted privileges to Armenians. Presently, there are 800-900
thousand of Armenians living in Poland. Last year, I was present at
the ceremony of unveiling of the Armenian Genocide Monument in our
country," Mr. Rokita concluded.
