Relations between Armenia and Europe are a key asset for peace and stability in South Caucasus
Today, EuroNews starts broadcasting a 10 minute report on Armenia which will run several times during the course of the coming week. The idea to produce this film was inspired by European Friends of Armenia (EuFoA, www.eufoa.org).

"We are very happy that EuroNews understands the political importance of EU-Armenia relations and showed the Armenian and European side of the story. The relations between Armenia and Europe are much more advanced than publicly noticed and they are a key asset for peace, stability and prosperity in the whole South Caucasus region," comments Michael Kambeck, Secretary General of EuFoA.

Broadcast for the first time on the day Armenians commemorate the Genocide, the report focuses on EU-Armenia relations and a possible reconciliation between Turkey and Armenia. It also features a short sequence about EuFoA and shows that EU-Armenia relations are strongly supported by the civil society.
