/PanARMENIAN.Net/ South Caucasus is an important region for the
European Union, which highlights establishment of peace and stability
there, German Ambassador to Armenia said.

"Our task is to contribute to prosperity of the region and develop
relations with it. Promoting economic integration of the region and
developing a cultural dialogue between the EU and Caucasus states, we
will strengthen security of entire Europe," H.E. Andrea Joanna-Maria
Wiktorin said during ‘European Union and South Caucasus – A Security
Partnership?’ international conference in Yerevan today.

"EU’s intermediation during the recent crisis in Georgia proves
the importance of the South Caucasus for the European Union. And
one of EU’s strategic goals is to help Armenia and its neighbors
attain success in implementation of reforms," she said, adding that
development of the ENP is a priority for all EU member states.

"During the visit of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan to Brussels an
agreement was reached to send a consultation group to Armenia. We are
hopeful it will help the republic develop and strengthen democratic
institutes and create independent legal system," Amb. Wiktorin said.
