European development only way out for Armenia

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ European values are a kind of abstract mosaic with
diverse mentalities and values. They are not in conflict with one
another; on the contrary, they enrich the common European mentality,
said Victor Yengibaryan, head of European Movement of Armenia during
his interview with the PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. As he says, if we
look at certain EU countries, England and Romania, for example, their
mentality is too different from each other's and too contradictory,
but taken together, they are considered to be part of European
mentality.
As Yengibaryan remarks, Armenia's only way out is following European
development model and adopting European values. However, if we
consider the fact that fundamental values like democracy, human
rights, and the ideology of freedom have long been running in our
blood, we can easily find the way to implement these values. After 70
years of totalitarian regime, at the stage of the transitional period,
we need to have several mechanisms, the most important of which can be
said to be education.
`It should be noted that from institutional and technical point of
view Armenia has established a legislative system and in this respect
we are in advance of all South Caucasus countries and even Western
Europe. But from the point of view of how these values are implemented
in Armenia, there is room for improvement as Armenia falls behind all
countries of Western Europe and South Caucasus,' Yengibaryan noted.
