Armenian University Graduates an opportunity to be included into the
work of Advisory Group which stimulates Armenian-EU cooperation and

students an opportunity to get experience in the realization of work
and reformations in international sphere, working with EU experts
and advisors," said Raul de Luzenberger, Head of the EU Delegation

ways, will give opportunities to develop national abilities and will
guarantee the existence of those abilities in Armenia," said Ms.
