Why are the anti-Europeans silent? Come on, do whisper a single word and struggle desperately overwhelmed with the idea of “maintaining the national cleanness and purity”, hold protests and pickets in front of B26 and the Government, demand that they reject “western grants”! Won’t the country ruin with 9 bln AMD???

I must say I’m also against giving these authorities even a single eurocent; all the same it will fall into the jaws of corruption and become useless dust.

Only after they adopt an adequate Action Plan for the Human Rights Strategy so necessary for RA to become a legal and democratic state and carry it out effectively by adopting laws on anti-discrimination, domestic violence, gender equality, etc., combat corruption effectively and abolish impunity, may the funds be allocated in parts to the extent of the performance.

Otherwise, why should they help, all the same we remain in the Eurasian dustbin.

Or “are “your feelings sensitive for the national interests” held back by the expectation for your share from the corruption leftovers?

He added that in 2017 Armenia would receive from European Union a grant of 9.7 bln AMD for target projects. Janjughazyan emphasized that Armenia would receive those amounts both from the European Commission and other European structures.
