ArmInfo-Turan: Azerbaijan has refused to participate in the "Eastern
Partnership. 4th Platform" youth event in Yerevan on March 26-38,
Spokesperson of the Ministry of Youth and Sport Affairs of Azerbaijan
Samaya Mamedova explained that as a step in response to Armenia's
refusal to participate in various international events in Baku,
in particular, in the Eurovision 2012 Song Contest.
The event in Yerevan is held under slogan "Contacts Between People".
The objective of the program is to give young people in Western and
Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus access to informal education,
to help them find jobs, to improve their awareness and to strengthen
their cultural, political and public ties. Young people from Armenia,
Belarus, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and the EU will take
part in the event.
Youth events in the EU EPP member-states are held as part of the EU
program Youth in Movement for 2007-2013. Official membership of Belarus
has been frozen over democracy and human rights problems in that
country. Nevertheless, representatives of Belarus are participating
in the event in Yerevan.
