YEREVAN, MARCH 25, NOYAN TAPAN. The European Union Advisory Group has arrived in Armenia. Its goal is to provide advisory assistance to RA state bodies and departments for implementing the European Neighborhood Policy Actions Plan at best in the respect of political and economic reforms. RA President Serzh Sargsyan received the group members and Ambassador Raul de Luzenberger, the head of the European Commission delegation in Armenia, on March 24. Addressing to the Advisory Group members, S. Sargsyan said: "This program's implementation is one more evidence that the Armenian people and authorities have a faith in our relations' future. I think joint experience can be also useful for the implementation of the Eastern Policy programs. We welcome the endorsement of Eastern Partnership by the EU summit. We are sure that there are moments favorable for Armenia here and we will try with pleasure to implement programs useful for our country." According to S. Sargsyan, the European Union, European structures provide much assistance to Armenian authorities' programs aimed at making Armenia more democratic and country's economy more competitive. In that context he attached importance to advisors' work and role and said that their assistance will be of much demand and necessity.
