/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Eastern Partnership initiative will help Armenia to
recover their democratic traditions, according to Hans Gunnar Aden,
Swedish Ambassador to South Caucasus.
"Eastern Partnership initiative will only have positive impact on
Armenian society which still suffers from Soviet mentality," Swedish
diplomat noted.
"Yerevan recently hosted the first Armenia-EU dialogue on human
rights. We voiced our expectations in the sphere of ensuring human
freedoms, independence of media and judiciary, as well as focused on
March 2008 developments which resulted in 10 deaths. We anticipate
Armenia’s response within 1.5 year," Ambassador said.
