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.
