EU’S DONORS’ CONFERENCE WILL NOT BE CONVENED? – NEWSPAPER
September 26, 2013 | 08:32
YEREVAN. – “I inform you that this question should be directed to
the Armenian authorities.” The European Union (EU) representation in
Armenia gave such answer to Haykakan Zhamanak daily on Wednesday.
And the question was related to the EU donors’ conference, the daily
reports.
“We had tried to clarify from the EU Office as to whether after
[Armenian President] Serzh Sargsyan’s announcement made on September 3
in Moscow-and according to which Armenia intends to be a part of the
Customs Union-the donors’ conference will be convened. And, if yes,
when and where?
“We redirected the same question to the Armenian government, but with
the additional question: If the conference will not be convened, why?
Naturally, we did not receive a reply.
“The donors’ conference aimed at providing up to 1.5 billion euros to
Armenia. The EU’s hint yesterday [i.e., Wednesday] is perhaps highly
transparent. The conference will not be held at Armenia’s fault,”
Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
