"Армяно-турецкая граница должна быть немедленно открыта"

Пятница, 30 ноября, АрмИнфо

Европейская Народная Партия будучи христианско- демократической, не потерпит ущемления свобод, ксенофобию, военную риторику и угрозы применения силы. Об этом заявил президент Армении Серж Саргсян после окончания II саммита стран-участниц "Восточного партнерства" ЕНП в Ереване.

Он заявил, что последняя закрытая граница Европы - армяно-турецкая - должна быть открыта немедленно и без предусловий. По его словам стремящаяся к членству в ЕС Турция продолжает осуществлять незаконную блокаду "восточного партнера" ЕС - Армению.

Он также выразил надежду, что в ближайшем будущем процесс упрощения визового режима ЕС для стран Восточного партнерства придаст новый импульс экономическому сотрудничеству, а также упростит общение граждан ЕС и Армении.

В своем выступлении Саргсян отметил важность проведения подобного мероприятия в Армении, а также заметил, что вступление трех армянских партий в ЕНП стало стимулом для установления качественно новых отношений с Европой.

В рамках проводимого в Ереване саммита лидеров стран-участниц "Восточного партнерства" Европейской народной партии была принята декларация.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
