/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Lisbon Treaty, which aims to streamline the
decision-making process of the European Union (EU), came into force
on Tuesday. The occasion will be marked by a ceremony in the City of
Lisbon organized jointly by the Portuguese Government, the Swedish
Presidency and the European Commission, says a release addressed
to PanARMENIAN.Net.

"I’m delighted that we now have the right institutions to act and a
period of stability, so that we can focus all our energy on delivering
what matters to our citizens," President of the European Commission
Jose Manuel Barroso said.

The Treaty of Lisbon amends the current EU and EC treaties, without
replacing them. It will provide the Union with the legal framework and
tools necessary to meet future challenges and to respond to citizens’
demands.

“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
