    YEREVAN.- Borders in Europe must not be used as dividing lines,
    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said at a joint briefing with
    European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.

    Armenian government should deepen cooperation within the Eastern
    Partnership, President added.

    `In the 21st century there must be no closed borders, the threat of
    force, xenophobia and racism,' Sargsyan emphasized.

    He said the statements and actions become inadequate when one of the
    partner states calls another state an enemy.

    `We can not pretend that everything is fine, when Turkey, a G20 member
    and candidate country for EU membership, continues to illegally hold
    blockade of the border with Armenia, a member of the Eastern
    Partnership project. This is not only contradicts the logic of the
    partnership, but also violates the most important rules and principles
    of international law,' President Sargsyan told reporters in Yerevan.

    Serzh Sargsyan said that during his meeting with Jose Manuel Barroso,
    he presented Armenia's approaches to the settlement of Karabakh
    conflict which are in compliance with the EU position.

    `Armenia has repeatedly stressed that Nagorno-Karabakh is a member of
    the European family and is sharing the same values. We attach
    importance to the direct contacts, in particular visits, of the EU
    representatives with Nagorno-Karabakh,' President concluded.
