YEREVAN, JANUARY 28, NOYAN TAPAN. The Chairman of the Forum of
the Union of European Armenians Ashot Grigorian met with the EU
Special Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby. The
idea of creating a new unit – confederation in the South Caucasus was
discussed at the meeting. A. Grigorian proposed that the European Union
develop an investment program for bringing the economies of all the
recognized and unrecognized states in the South Caucasus: Armenia,
Georgia, Azerbaijan, the NKR, Abkhazia and South Ossetia into line
with the level of EU member states in order to prepare these state’s
joining the EU in the next decade. A. Grigorian reported that the
problem of granting status of an associated member of the EU to the
South Caucasian confederation is likely to be solved within 5 years.

According to him, it is possible to establish a strategic center for
development of the South Caucasus in Bratislava, the capital of the
Slovak Republic. This center will operate as a EU body responsible for
development of diplomatic, economic and political links in the South
Caucasus. The sides agreed to assist the creation of this center by
holding frequent meetings.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
