"An interesting tendency is evident in Armenia; everything connected
with Europe is blackened on the eve of elections" said Karen Bekaryan,
head of "Euro-integration" NGO during the seminar titled "The Policy
of European Neighbourhood: Armenian Action Plan".
He says that the reason for it is apparent: observers will arrive in
Armenia and our authorities will gain nothing from their position.
He is astonished by the fact that prior to elections instead of
initiating black PR against their rivals, the candidates do their
best to realize black PR against the Euro-integration. "No matter
what they intend to do now, they will return to Euro-integration
later on as it has the smell of money, it is stylish and beautiful",
stated MR. Bekaryan.
The Action Plan was adopted in Brussels on November 14. Armen
Roustamyan, head of the RA NA Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs,
maintains that the document opens new prospects and new tasks
for Armenia. "It is high time we appreciated and contemplated over
everything thoroughly. Everybody must have his share and participation;
I mean the executive, legislative branches and the society. "
Mr. Roustamyan tried to persuade that while solving problems we cannot
neglect the European experience.
Armen Roustamyan states that we have stepped into a new phase. The
adopted laws were thoroughly considered by that important structure
and they comply with the international conventions. .
Armen Roustramyan enumerated a number of priorities of the Action Plan,
"The Action Plan is aimed at contributing to the issues of political,
health spheres, promoting democracy, human rights protection, etc."
He voiced hope that with the help of European Union we can achieve
unbiased settlement of the Karabakh conflict taking into account the
great international experience in this respect.
