EU partnership important to Armenia

October 29, 2009 - 12:54 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - EU partnership is important to Armenia, RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian stated at "Easter Partnership: A new stage in eurointegration process?" forum opening.



"Since 2007, Armenia has been implementing European neighborhood policy action program, symbolizing Armenia-EU collaboration," RA FM stated.



According to Edward Nalbandian, Eastern Partnership initiative launched in May 2009 in Prague, laid a new foundation for Yerevan-EU collaboration. "EU has a potential for establishment of peace, security and stability in South Caucasus. Unfortunately, the intention is not shared by all regional states. Azerbaijan has shown non constructive approach even at the primary stage of Eastern Partnership program preparation," RA FM noted.



RA government has enough political will to implement Armenia-EU European collaboration policy action program, Edward Nalbandian emphasized.
