RA FOREIGN MINISTRY GREETS EU AND CE FOR HARMONIZATION OF EFFORTS
FOR PURPOSE OF STRENGTHENING OF DEMOCRATIC STABILITY
YEREVAN, MARCH 17, NOYAN TAPAN. After the March 15 4-sided meeting
within the framework of European Union-Council of Europe dedicated
to the memorandum on mutual understanding between the Council
and Europe and European Union, which is still being worked out,
the executives of these two organizations made conclusions. The
conclusions, in particular, emphasize the necessity of deepening
cooperation with Council of Europe member-states taking part in the
European Neighborhood policy, as well as the importance of regular
consultations between representatives of interested states and CE
and EU.
According to the report provided to Noyan Tapan by RA Foreign
Ministry Press and Information Department, Armenia came up with such
an initiative some months ago considering that it’ll be necessary
to closely coordinate works between CE and EU in the sphere of
realization of common priority goals and joint programs.
Realizing that the obligations assumed by these countries at the
moment of joining the Council of Europe correspond to the priorities
on democracy, legal state and human rights included in EU Neighborhood
policy national actions plans, RA Foreign Ministry is convinced that
these countries deal with common problems, which makes joint activity,
experience and information exchange necessary and useful.
RA Foreign Ministry greets both of the organizations for harmonization
of their efforts for the purpose of strengthening democratic
stability in the interested states and for will manifested in
the issue of stimulation of regional cooperation in the spirit of
European building.
