ArmInfo. The ‘Eastern Partnership’ programme will be not only
of symbolic but also real significance, Poland’s Ambassador to
Armenia Tomasz Knothe said at the International Conference ‘Earstern
Partnership and Prospects for Democracy Building in the South Caucasus’
started in Yerevan today.
‘I think that discussion of this programme gives an opportunity
to the participant-states to make contribution in the form of new
ideas. Moreover, the goals of the "Eastern Partnership" are more
ambitious than the policy of "New European Neighborhood" preceding
that. In this way European Union is demonstrating its desire to draw
the countries nearer to itself’, – he said. The ambassador also
emphasized importance of supporting the integration processes by
civil societies of the participant-states in the programme.
