    In March the European Union will send a group of advisers to Armenia. A
    corresponding agreement was reached during the Armenian President's
    visit to Brussels in November, 2008. The group aims at providing
    assistance to Armenia towards accomplishment of the Action Plan of
    the European Neighborhood Policy.

    According to Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakosyan, "assistance will
    be provided to the Government, the National assembly, the Ministries
    of Foreign affairs, Finance, Transport and Communication, the State
    Incomes Agency, as well as the Office of the Human Rights Defender."

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already decided how it is going to
    use the proposed assistance. It will be directed at the establishment
    of a diplomatic academy. "We have an objective to create a diplomatic
    school within the Ministry in order to prepare high-quality cadres. For
    that purpose we have applied to the European Union, asking to provide
    advisory assistance."

    The advisory program will be financed by the European Commission and
    will be implemented jointly with the UN Development Programme.
