YEREVAN, MAY 5, ARMENPRESS: A senior EU diplomat told a news conference today in Yerevan that a plan of actions to deepen relations between Armenia and the EU within the frameworks of European Neighborhood Policy should be ready by the end of the year.
Heiki Talvitie, an EU special representative for the South Caucasus, said the EU attaches great importance to stronger cooperation with the region’s countries, but added that its focus now is on Georgia rather, following the ‘rose revolution” there. Talvitie said the three countries of the region have now to do their homework and develop a plan of actions that will outline the main goals and the tasks of future cooperation.
According to the diplomat, each of the countries will be approached separately and added that the European Neighborhood Policy does not envisage the region’s countries’ full integration with the European Union.
Talvitie also said the EU is interested in a soonest resolution of the Nagorno Karabagh problem, as this conflict hampers the development of the region and stressed the importance of talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan on the level of foreign ministers.
