    ARMENIA UNDERSCORES THE CREATION OF PARLIAMENTARY PARTNERSHIP FORMAT - "EURONEST"

    ARMENPRESS
    Oct 26, 2009

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 26, ARMENPRESS: Head of the NA's European Integration
    Affairs permanent commission Naira Zohrabyan participated October
    19-22 in the capital of Sweden Stockholm in the launching conference
    of creation of Eastern Partnership parliamentary format.

    NA public relations department told Armenpress that during the
    conference the suggestions of 6 member states of Eastern Partnership
    were presented and how the participants imagine the parliamentary
    format of the partnership - the "Euronest" - which may be a serious
    impetus to the main platforms established by Eastern partnership as
    well as for the solution of economic integration issues of the EU
    partner states.

    Naira Zohrabyan in her speech presented the suggestions of the Armenian
    side, noting that Armenia highlights the creation of parliamentary
    format of partnership which will give an opportunity by using flexible
    parliamentary instruments and parliamentary diplomacy promote the
    European integration of partnership countries.

    Speaking about the cooperation among the partner states, which is the
    main component of the Eastern partnership, N. Zohrabyan referred to
    the biased policy of Azerbaijan which essentially impedes the solution
    of prior issues.

    Referring to the Armenia's approaches over "Euronest", she said that
    it will be unacceptable for the Armenian side if Azerbaijan tries to
    turn the parliamentary partnership format into a format of conflict
    solution, adding that the continuation of suchlike policy of Azerbaijan
    will take this important initiative to a deadlock.

    In response to the speech of the representative of Azerbaijani
    parliament in which false and disorienting information about Nagorno
    Karabakh was voiced, N. Zohrabyan submitted a written application to
    representative of Sweden chairing the conference, Goran Lenmarker,
    suggesting to draw the attention of EU partner member states to the
    unconstructive policy of Azerbaijan, and calling on EU to display
    a clear attitude toward the not constructive steps and statements
    of Azerbaijan.

    As a result of the conference is was decided in the shortest period
    of time sum up the issues connected with the formation of the
    parliamentary format and establish the "Euronest".

    According to initial agreement, the Eastern Partnership Parliamentary
    Assembly will consist of 120 parliamentarians: 60 from EU member-states
    and 10 from each partner state - Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine,
    Azerbaijan and Belarus.
