In a press conference convened today, Karen Bekaryan, President of European Integration organization, elucidated several points related to European Neighborhood Policy (ENP). “According to the letter and spirit of ENP documents, there are three security models conventionally defined as hard security system, semi-hard security system and a system based on neighbors’ interest in the given states’ welfare. The EU adopted the ‘soft system’ and incorporated it in its Neighborhood Policy,” he noted.
According to Bekaryan, any policy, including ENP, is a package of challenges and opportunities. Armenia has good potentials for successful implementation of ENP principles in building relations with neighbors. “That format establishes platform for uniform policy on the one hand and enables competitiveness among states on the other,” Mr. Bekaryan stressed.
