Armenia will receive Euro 98,4 mill. for Eastern Partnership program implementation in 2010-2013
Eurocommittee allocated Euro 600 million to EP Member states for Eastern Partnership projects implementation in 2010-2013. Whoever offers better ideas within shortest terms will be credited for greater sum out of total, BelaPAN Byelorussian website noted.

Newly made "eastern partners" who've earlier overcame a number of obstacles to strengthen their ties with EU, received significantly greater funding for 2010-2013: Azerbaijan - Euro 92 million, Armenia - Euro 98,4 million, Georgia - Euro120,4 million, Moldova - Euro 209,7 million, Ukraine - Euro 494 million. Experts from Eastern partnership member states believe that the program has received insufficient funding. Brussels is proud to offer financial support which was increased to Euro 600 million for 2010-2013.
