ArmInfo. Poland may become a bridge linking South Caucasian states and
the European Union, Jan Rokita, the ex-head of the Chancellery of the
Police Prime Minister, said at the international conference ‘European
Union and South Caucasus: Safe Partnership?’ in Yerevan Thursday.
The best thing Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan can do now is to
build a common house. The three states should have common goals,
first of all, maintenance of Georgia’s sovereignty, he said. He is
sure that if these states fail to support each other, others will
‘reconcile’ them relying on own interests. The second condition is
compulsory lifting of Armenia’s blockade and its involvement into
regional projects. The expert came out for deployment of international
peacemakers in the zone of Karabakh conflict.
The third step for all the states in the region should be joining the
East European Partnership, Rokita said. Armenia is a very friendly
country to Poland. The two states have 600 years of common history. The
local Armenian community is rather impressive. Armenians and Polish
live and develop the common state.
Last year a monument for Armenian Genocide was erected in
Poland. Genocide of Armenians is a fact not subject to doubts, he said.
