Philosophy of the 'Eastern Partnership' programme says that EU wants
to see its neighbours stable and cooperating with each other, deputy
Foreign Minister of Armenia Karine Ghazinyan told journalists today.
She said Armenia views this initiative as an opportunity of more
approaching the European Union. 'Cooperation within the frames of the
'Eastern Partnership' will develop towards further democratization,
assurance of energy security and development of market economy', the
deputy FM said. She recalled that it is scheduled to create a free
trade zone in the near future, as well as facilitate the visa regime
that, in her opinion, is one of the prime aspects of the programme
and will help to cerate an opportunity for communication among the
people. 'Eastern Partnership' is a more active and deepened version
of the European Neighbourhood policy', K. Ghazinyan emphasized and
added that involvement in this programme does not mean that these
countries will automatically become EU members in the near future.
Moreover, she said, the European Union schedules to apply separate
approaches to each country taking into account the realities and
development of these countries in separate. 'Cooperation within the
frames of the 'Eastern Partnership' will cover all the spheres of
the political and public life. 'We welcome this process which will
contribute to further development of the European values in Armenia',
K. Ghazinyan resumed.
