/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On November 19, leaders of European Union member
states are electing EU first President. Representatives from 27
countries differed in their views on possible candidate, hence
discussions over the issue are expected to continue after midnight.

Earlier, the favorite was Britain’s Tony Blair. But later, France and
Germany expressed support for Belgian Premier Herman Van Rompuy. Other
possible contenders included in the list are Dutch Premier Jan Peter
Balkenende, former Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga and Luxemburg
Premier Jean-Claude Juncker.

Brussels will also host elections of pan-European Foreign Minster
who will be vested with more competences than President.

EU structural management reforms are stipulated in Lisbon Treaty
which enters into force on December 1, 2009, BBC reports.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
