France will present the EU policy in Armenia within a year and a half,
French Ambassador to Armenia Serge Smessov told a press conference.
In his words, the EU policy in Armenia will be presented by France,
since there are no representatives of Portugal and Slovenia in Armenia,
who will subsequently assume EU presidency after France. "Thus,
in July 2008 France will assume the responsibilities of a country
representing the EU on foreign policy and common security issues,"
the French Ambassador noted.
He added that the French Embassy in Armenia will inform the Armenian
society and authorities about decisions and statements of the EU on
the region, especially Armenia. "We realize that the current stage is
a very important one for Armenia in the relations with the European
Union, especially in the framework of the European New Neighborhood
Policy," he added. Serge Smessov also informed that the European
Commission is implementing a regional project aimed at involving the
three countries of the South Caucasus in transport and energy projects.
