/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Some 10 years ago, South Caucasus countries were
far away from the European Union, according to the head of delegation
of the European Commission to Armenia.
"At that time, we created a new vision for cooperation with eastern
partners and launched the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP), although
it was not an easy move," Mr. Raul de Luzenberger said during 'European
Union and South Caucasus - A Security Partnership?' international
conference in Yerevan today.
"Despite various differences between EU members and partners, there
is also much in common," he said.
"We offered our partners to use our experience in democracy and
security building. Each partner was offered a joint reform program. The
Action Plan is a package of proposals, implementation of which in
corpore can produce effect," Mr. de Luzenberger said, adding that
the EU compel countries to European integration and it's up to the
partners whether they want to get close to Union or not.
