NO CUSTOMS CHECKPOINT WILL SEPARATE ARMENIA FROM NAGORNO-KARABAKH, SAYS PREMIER
10:36 * 02.10.14
The prime minister of the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) has said that
Armenia's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union is not a reason
for separating the two Armenian republics by a customs checkpoint.
"A customs checkpoint between Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia is ruled
out. It isn't possible to have a checkpoint, as that would imply
a border control by defense guards, whereas it isn't technically
feasible to maintain control over the scores of roadways which connect
Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia," Ara Harutyunyan told the students of
the Artsakh State University, reports the Nagorno-Karabakh Government's
press service.
The premier visited the university on Wednesday together with Minister
of Education and Science Slava Asryan to meet with the students and
faculty members.
The meeting, among other things, addressed social issues, including
salary policies and possible government plans of raising transport
fares.
Addressing the University's role in the country's economy, the premier
expressed his dissatisfaction with the graduates' professional
quality. He noted that students majoring in mining industries,
telecommunication, energy and agriculture do not have a sufficient
level of interest in their field of specialization.
