As a European Commission’s initiative, Eastern Partnership envisages
special kind of cooperation with member states.

"The main problem of this initiative is not the economy itself, but
perception of European values and democracy in six states: Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova," Director of Freedom
House Europe Vladimir Shkolnikov said at Caucasus 2008 conference
in Yerevan.

"Of course, Eastern Partnership plan still has to be developed. It
is quite a complicated project, which targets Belarus and Ukraine
rather than South Caucasus countries," the expert said and added
that as compared to past initiatives, Eastern Partnership design is
very promising.

Eastern Partnership constitutive summit will take place in Prague
on May 7. The program was approved in December 2008 and includes six
post soviet countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia

“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
