    Armenian president delivers speech at Konrad Adenauer foundation in Belgium

    15:52 - 07.03.12


    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, who is on a working visit to
    Belgium, was hosted at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.

    The Armenian leader delivered a speech and answered the attendees' questions.

    President Serzh Sargsyan spoke of the previous work and plans aimed at
    Armenia's European integration. This is the Armenian people's natural
    choice, the Armenia leader said. The Armenian people is reviving its
    ancient democratic traditions, Serzh Sargsyan added.

    European integration is not only domestic reforms, but also foreign
    policy agenda for Armenia. Armenia attaches importance to the Eropean
    Union's presence in the South Caucasus not only because the EU is a
    global actor, but also because it is the most successful model for
    peoples' peaceful and stable co-existence. Armenia's view of the South
    Caucasus development is based on the values that enabled Europe to
    succeed. The Armenian president expressed the confidence that a common
    system of values can serve as a basis for a secure and steadily
    developing region.

    The Armenian leader expressed the confidence that Armenia is close to
    Europe and its value of system not only in state construction, but
    also in its behavior, as a reliable partner in both regional and
    international contexts. Armenia is for resolving all problems by means
    of peaceful negotiations, respecting the interests of all the
    conflicting parties. Armenia is ready to do its utmost to prevent
    further disasters, conflicts and dividing lines, proving its serious
    intentions by practical steps, Serzh Sargsyan said.

    The Armenian leader also spoke of regional problems and challenges,
    Nagorno-Karabakh peace process and Armenia-Turkey relations.

    President Serzh Sargsyan stressed that irrespective of the current
    regional problems Armenia embarked on a truly democratic way of state
    construction. Armenia is seeking to construct a state that would truly
    respect human rights, with a truly independent judicial system, with
    equal political and economic competition, and true democracy, the
    Armenian leader said.

    In Brussels, the Armenian president also held meetings with Martin
    Schulz, President of the European Parliament, Wilfried Martens,
    President of the European People's Party.

    President Serzh Sargsyan is also scheduled to hold a meeting with
    Stefan Fule, Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood
    Policy.
