The aim of the EU Eastern Partnership program is establishing stability
and tolerance in the South Caucasus, which is natural of the situation
developing in the region, the expert Yervand Bozoyan told NEWS.am.
"The program is intended for the entire region and the South Caucasus
will benefit from it," Bozoyan said. According to him, the EU’s
statement is even more topical in the context of the regional
conflict. On the other hand, the program is unlikely to produce
essential results in the near future, but "will not take long to."
"The point is that two of the three states, Armenia and Azerbaijan,
have a dispute, Nagorno-Karabakh problem, and the Eastern Partnership
plans will not be implemented as long as the problem remains
unresolved," Bozoyan said.
