The Europe Day was celebrated today at Yerevan's Lovers Park. `The
europea Day is one of the most important symbols of the European
Union. We avail ourselves of the opportunity to celebrate the Europe
day in Yerevan. We hope that all participants, especially the youth,
will enjoy the event and will get additional information about the
European Union,' Head of the EU Delegation to Armenia Raul de
Luzenberger said.
On the 9th of May 1950, Robert Schuman presented his proposal on the
creation of an organized Europe, indispensable to the maintenance of
peaceful relations.
This proposal, known as the "Schuman declaration", is considered to be
the beginning of the creation of what is now the European Union.
Today, the 9th of May has become a European symbol (Europe Day) which,
along with the flag, the anthem, the motto and the single currency
(the euro), identifies the political entity of the European Union.
Europe Day is the occasion for activities and festivities that bring
Europe closer to its citizens and peoples of the Union closer to one
another.
Armenia is part of Europe, Raul de Luzenberger says. According to him,
`Armenia is a middle-income country and is our neighbor. We try to
have good relations with all our friends including Armenia. Armenia is
Europe. It is a member of the Council of Europe and shares our
universal values from the point of view of democracy, human rights and
rule of law.'
