/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Presently the chances of the South Caucasian
states to join the EU are vague, Armenian National Assembly Speaker
Tigran Torosian told reporters November 21. In his words, the Pact
on Stability in South Caucasus issued by the PACE Standing Committee
confirms this fact and offers to create an EU model in the South
Caucasus. Torosian also remarked that the creation of such a model
proves that the European structures exact the basic principles the
states of the region should follow on the way of European integration.
When asked whether the resolution urges the states to refrain from
military calls Torosian said that the issues had been already mentioned
in the PACE resolutions. "I do not think that it's correct to transfer
demands from one resolution to another. The most important thing is
the consistency of the European structures towards the commitments
fulfilled by the state," Torosian said. He underscored that the
resolution supports the idea of regional cooperation and European
integration of the states of the region.
The Speaker also informed that Azerbaijan rejected the idea while
Georgia supported it with some amendments, reports IA Regnum.
