In March the European Union will send a group of advisers to Armenia. A
corresponding agreement was reached during the Armenian President's
visit to Brussels in November, 2008. The group aims at providing
assistance to Armenia towards accomplishment of the Action Plan of
the European Neighborhood Policy.
According to Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakosyan, "assistance will
be provided to the Government, the National assembly, the Ministries
of Foreign affairs, Finance, Transport and Communication, the State
Incomes Agency, as well as the Office of the Human Rights Defender."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already decided how it is going to
use the proposed assistance. It will be directed at the establishment
of a diplomatic academy. "We have an objective to create a diplomatic
school within the Ministry in order to prepare high-quality cadres. For
that purpose we have applied to the European Union, asking to provide
advisory assistance."
The advisory program will be financed by the European Commission and
will be implemented jointly with the UN Development Programme.
