According to Noyan Tapan Press, Ashot Grigoryan, President of the Union of Armenians in Europe and European Union Special Representative Peter Semneby, have discussed the idea of creating a new confederative body for the South Caucasus. According to Mr. Grigoryan, the concept is to riase the level of the economies of all the recognized and non-recognized governments in the South Caucasus - Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia, South Ossetia - to the level of EU member states and to prepare them for admittance into the EU within the next ten years.
