"Armenia is interested in the further development of the Eastern
Partnership format. It should continue to serve its major objective -
united Europe that is free of dividing lines, stable and prosperous.
It is important for the Eastern Partnership to be responsive to the
vital interests of all the participating states. For Armenia it is
first of all the unblocking of the closed border with Turkey",
President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said in his
statement at the High-level Meeting in Prague on the 5th Anniversary
of the Eastern Partnership.
"It is an unfortunate reality that there is still no full-fledged
collaboration between the partner states. Sometimes, we not only
evade cooperation to achieve shared objectives but even display enmity
and hatred towards each other. Yesterday's statement by the President
of Azerbaijan is the striking illustration of my words. Of course, his
absence from today's session deprives me of an opportunity to touch
upon his speech in details. Instead of speaking about present day's
numerous issues he tried to assume the role of Turkey's advocate.
Instead of making a constructive proposal on the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict he touched upon the four twenty one-year-old UN Security
Council resolutions whose implementation had been brought about an
abortion by Azerbaijan at that time.
The peaceful settlement of the conflicts in the European continent is
of primary importance for the peace and prosperity. The settlement of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remains to be of vital importance for
Armenia.
It is a matter of plain fact that Nagorno Karabakh has got a system of
government based on the European values and corresponding to the
democratic principles. It is long overdue to affirm de jure the
factual exercise of the Artsakh people's right to self-determination",
said Sargsyan.
