    AMBASSADOR OF BELARUS: CERTAIN SPECULATIONS SWIRL AROUND EASTERN PARTNERSHIP PROJECT

    ArmInfo. Certain speculations swirl around the Eastern Partnership
    Project, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Belarus to
    Armenia Stepan Sukhorenko said in an interview with ArmInfo.

    "Formation of parliament with full-fledged possibilities was initially
    planed as part of the Euronest i.e. the parliament would comprise
    by 10 delegates from each member-state and equal number of the
    European Parliament deputies. Now, they suddenly began to doubt if
    the Parliament of Belarus is right or wrong and whether to replace us
    with another state etc. Thus, certain speculations swirl around the
    Eastern Partnership Project. And during the last working session that
    discussed adoption of statutory documents, there was a suggestion to
    form Euronest without Belarus so far," he said.

    Sukhorenko said that claims will be made to Belarus now. Tomorrow
    Armenia will face claims, then Moldova and others. This means that
    the countries will be again divided into "the right" and "the wrong"
    ones and unequal conditions will be created from the very beginning
    of cooperation.

    "Partnership is impossible when dual standards are applied and
    unequal conditions are created. Therefore, we thank the countries
    that supported us in this issue and Armenia, first of all," he said.

    The Eastern Partnership is a project, which was initiated by the
    European Union (EU). The foreign minister of Poland presented it
    with assistance from Sweden at the EU's General Affairs and External
    Relations Council in Brussels on 26 May 2008. The Eastern Partnership
    was inaugurated in Prague on 7 May 2009. The Eastern Partnership is a
    project aiming to improve the political and economic trade-relations
    of the six Post-Soviet states of "strategic importance" - Ukraine,
    Belarus, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia with the European
    Union.
