    We should not forget about our eastern neighbors - Ambassador of
    Poland to Armenia

    The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Poland to Armenia
    Zdzislaw Raczynski in an interview to Armenian News-NEWS.am said that
    it will be optimal if the members of the Eastern Partnership aim for
    full integration into the EU sometime in the future.

    `Our idea is permanent - not to forget about our eastern neighbors. In
    contrast to our southern neighbors, who are neighbors of Europe,
    Eastern countries are European neighbors of EU. There is a small but
    significant difference. This is a different quality, a different
    perspective, as well as other opportunities,' the Ambassador noted.

    Nobody knows how much the initiative will bring.

    `If in the early 1990's someone would have tried to convince us that
    Poland will be a member of EU an ambulance would be called for him.
    But the dream has come true. Politics is the ability to dream
    marvelously, to think far ahead. Is this program perfect? Perfect
    solutions do not exist. But this is the most of what Europe today can
    offer. Sometimes they talk about the financial component. But it is
    not only a transfer of money - it is a transfer of ideas and
    solutions. If we convert to per capita the amount, which Armenia
    currently receives from the EU, it is about the same as Poland
    received prior to the entry into the EU. The money was spent on making
    changes. We must have the will, determination, and vision to seek what
    we want,' Zdzislaw Raczynski said.
