I ecourage you to be more alert about all the possibities with the EU programs (there are tons of programs) and opportunities. Just check regularly the EU web pages and Economist.

Teutonic Knight Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Thanks Grikor. In relation: Armenia ratifies Protocol No. 6 to the European Convention on Human Rights: Declaration by the Chairman-in-Office of the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers 29/09/2003 | Council of Europe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strasbourg, 29.09.2003 – “29 September 2003 is an important date both for Armenia and for the Council of Europe. In depositing the ratification instruments for Protocol No. 6 to the European Convention on Human Rights abolishing the death penalty in peacetime with the Secretary General, my Armenian colleague, Vartan Oskanyan, has made irreversible the historic decision by his country’s parliament to abolish the death penalty in Armenia. This brings us a little closer to achieving one of the Council of Europe’s fundamental objectives, namely eliminating the death penalty for good from the whole of Europe”, said the Chairman of the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers and Moldovan Foreign Minister Nicolae Dudau today. “Armenia undertook to abolish the death penalty when it joined the Council on 25 January 2001. I am delighted that that political commitment has now become a legal reality. The fact that the Minister for Foreign Affairs himself deposited the ratification instruments makes it all the more significant. I see it as a sign of the Armenian authorities’ determination to continue and step up their efforts to honour all the commitments they made three years ago. They know that they can count on the Council of Europe’s unrelenting support in this respect”, Mr Dudau added. “Armenia’s decision to abolish the death penalty came a few weeks after the entry into force, on 1 July, of Protocol No. 13 abolishing the death penalty in all circumstances. I would take this opportunity to call on those Council of Europe member states which have not already done so, to sign or ratify that protocol as quickly as possible”, concluded the Chairman of the Committee of Ministers.

Teutonic Knight Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 The Armenia Country Strategy Paper (CSP) was adopted by the Commission on 27 December 2001 and provides the strategic framework within which EC assistance will be provided for the period 2002-2006. The CSP follows the guidelines set out in the Framework for Country Strategy Papers, and takes its basis from the Regulation for the provision of assistance to the partner countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (Council Regulation EC, Euratom N° 99/2000 of 29 December 1999). The CSP constitutes the Indicative Programme as described in article 3.2 and 3.3 of the Regulation and revises and updates (as foreseen in article 3.6 of the Regulation) the Indicative Programme for 2002-2003 adopted in 2000. The CSP sets out EC cooperation objectives, policy response and priority fields of cooperation based on a thorough assessment of policy agenda and political and socio-economic situation of Armenia. The National Indicative Programme (NIP, Chapter 6 of the CSP) sets out the response in more detail, highlighting objectives, expected results and conditionality for Tacis in the priority areas of cooperation for the period 2002-2003. The Republic of Armenia (hereafter, Armenia) is committed to the implementation of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement with the European Union which entered into force in July 1999. Armenia's political situation is stable but fragile and influenced by an unstable regional context and the conflict with the Republic of Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Artsax; economically, Armenia has experienced consecutive growth since 1994, but this has partly depended on international aid and remittances from the Diaspora and it is also due to catching up the GDP level before 1991; its social situation has deteriorated considerably over the last decade. A member of the Council of Europe since January 2001, Armenia's respect for democracy, the rule of law and human rights is not particularly alarming. The CSP is in line with the Statement on Development Policy, adopted by the Commission and the Council in November 2000 which, for developing countries like Armenia, identifies poverty reduction as the primary focus of the EU's development assistance. The EU Food Security Programme will continue to remain a priority for Armenia. Over the time frame of this CSP, one of the main EU objectives remains the closure of the Medzamor Nuclear Power Plant, for which work is ongoing, involving the Armenian authorities, the EU Member States and the other relevant international players. In line with the General Affairs Council's conclusions of 26/02/01 and 09/04/01, the EU will look for further ways in which it could support efforts to prevent and resolve conflicts as well as in post conflict rehabilitation in Southern Caucasus, including Armenia. An eventual breakthrough in the conflict with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Artsax will be considered in this respect. The Tacis programme 2002-2003 can effectively assist Armenia by focusing on two priority areas: (1) support for institutional, legal and administrative reform, including: implementation of the EU-Armenia PCA; reforms in the field of higher education; development of information technologies; strengthening the effectiveness of vocational education and training; flanking measures in support of the EU Food Security Programme; (2) support in addressing the social consequences of transition, in particular through investments in the education sector. The indicative budget for Tacis assistance to Armenia for the period 2002-2003 is € 10 million.

A_D_G Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Nice try with the browser hacking Sip. We were just here to use our constitutional rights to free speech and you had to play dirty and erase an open discussion site. Where is the freedom of speech? This is sad that we are living in a communist mentality and the browser hijacking was a good try. But this site isn't even playing fair so it's not even worth fighting with you guys about the fact that we are proud of being armenian. We know we are and when armenia is being attacked we will be there. You guys can stay online and talk about the war through a box, but we will be there. So take care and keep up your white utopia with others in this virtual world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 In other words "You can't ban me, I quit". Have a nice life and hope one day you'll figure out what "browser hijacking", "communist mentality", "freedom of speech", "fair", "utopia", and all those other buzzwords you keep throwing around really mean.

A_D_G Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Well why did you erase the stuff we wrote? Why have we been banned before? While tutonic knight goes around saying anything he wants, and attacks armenians, you just block our posts. SO have fun with your cat.

A_D_G Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 And what's your problem with real armenians Sip? you think you look white? Why are you against the fact we say we arent white? Why you attacking real armenians for saying we are proud armenians? It doesnt make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 My cat? What the hell does that have anything to do with it Did you read any of the forum rules before you joined? Did you listen to anything moderators have said before? Obviously not. SO either just leave already, stop your whining, or you WILL be banned.

Why you attacking real armenians for saying we are proud armenians? It doesnt make sense. I doesn't make sense since I have not said ANYTHING about Armenians being white or not. I think it is a very very very very stupid question to ask and even stupider to try to answer it. Hope that answered all your questions.

A_D_G Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 (edited) So then why are we arguing here??? We don't even know how this got so far. It's just the fact you took tutonic knight's side over us and started attacking our posts for no reason. And if you wern't posting about armenians are white or not then why did you reply to our posts? That was the topic we were on. Just stop these attacks on Armenians and again, just cause a government oppresses its people, doesn't mean they have to abide by those rules. They can still be free and fight for that. (freedom isn't a right limmited to Americans. It's a human right's issue.) Edited October 17, 2003 by A_D_G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So take care and keep up your white utopia with others in this virtual world.so you think you have as you said it "constitutional rights to free speech"? If you are such a constitutional believer why don't you walk in to your bosses office today and tell him that he is a M***** F*****. I am sure you are man enough to do it and I am sure the constitution gives you the right to do it so he wont do anything to you right? Get a life dude. You do not have Freedom of Speech in a private setting. This forum is owned and operated by a single person and he can set the rules for it and when you join the forum you agree to the rules. Name calling is one of the prohibited rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_D_G Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 (edited) So its' alright for a neo nazi (tutonic knight) to call us names? The guy is a white nationalist. You all siding with a white nationalist over a fellow armenian. What business does a non armenian have on this site anyways especially one who has caused the majority of problems on this board. You barely tolerate us while we are armenian, why would you tolerate a german/scott at all period? And Azat, you come on with insults of your own, if you really are peaceful why you joining up on posts to cause further problems?

Armat Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 TK just out of curiosity why are you concern yourself (or perhaps just killing time) things Armenian when in fact as you mentioned you are not Armenian. I am not applying that you should not be a member here but I am highly aroused since I find absolutely no reason to go to Scottish or German forum and participate minute details of discussions of which would not be my concern.Simply why you and why here.

Also, when referring to people, "there" isn't used. The correct term would be "their", in that context. Wait, more mistakes by the educated Edward. "Your self" is one word. Another thing, "deferent" is spelled "different." When you are trying to post something about being educated, you should make sure you are educated yourself and not make spelling errors in every sentence. Just a tip.

Armat Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 ADG please come down. Do not take offence what everyone is saying specially ignore the real offensive remarks. Remember this is just a forum not a battlefield where Armenians or Armenia is at stake. Just keep what you feel being an Armenian in your heart and practice little tolerance to others. That is all, peace. Edward means well, stick around longer and you will know people here better hence it will give you a perspective.

mikebond Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 I am a 21-year-old Italian young man. I love Europe and the European Union and I would like all the European countries to join the EU in the future, hopefully by 2020-2030, including Russia, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. I have founded some Yahoogroups to debate with other people who would like this to happen. I think some of you might find it interesting to join the "Armenia in the EU" group. The address is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/armenia-in-the-eu. Please, join it only if you are in favour of this. God bless Armenia!
