European integration is one of the key priorities of our foreign
policy, President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said at the Konrad
Adenauer Foundation in Brussels, on March 6, the press-service of the
Armenia president told ArmInfo.
In his speech President Sargsyan said that EU's presence in Armenia
and South Caucasus important not only because of EU's being global
actor, but also because the European model of peaceful, safe and
sustainable coexistence of peoples is fully applicable to the South
Caucasus.
"Our vision of full development of the South Caucasus is based on the
values and conscience that made Europe's success possible. I am sure
that it is only thanks to the common system of values that we can
build a safe and developing region. Our region really needs
understanding of common values, development of a security agenda,
formation of integrated economy reckoning with the peculiarities and
diversity of challenges in our region," the president said.
Sargsyan said that Armenia is for settlement of all the problems
through political negotiations, mutual understanding and respect for
the rights of all the parties. "We are ready to do our best to prevent
conflict, new dividing lines, and we prove seriousness of our
intention in practice," he said.
In this context, the president said that irrespective of the regional
problems, Armenia has chosen the way of democratic state building with
respect for human rights, independent judicial system, equal terms of
competition in the political and economic spheres, where democracy is
not a shape but content.
