On October 13, the Artsakh State University and Belgium's Catholic

The Declaration was signed in the NKR by Rector of the Artsakh State
University Manush Minasyan and in Belgium - by Rector of the Catholic
University of Leuven Rik Torfs.
The Catholic University of Leuven was represented in Stepanakert by the
University Honorable Rector, Professor, member of the Europe-Armenia
Advisory Committee, Bernard Coulie.
The ceremony of signing was also attended by Chairman of the NKR NA
Ashot Ghulian, Foreign Minister Karen Mirzoyan, as well as member
of the European Parliament, President of the EU-Armenia Friendship
Group Eleni Theocharous, political advisor to a MEP, International
Law and European Studies Doctor Ioannis Charalampidis and Chairman

"Another page is added to our University's rich history of
international cooperation - it is the signing of the Declaration
between the Artsakh and Belgian Universities, which will give a new
impetus to the University's scientific and educational development.
Today, we have over two dozens of international agreements, but this
is the first agreement with a European University, which will allow
to expand the activities in this region too", Rector of the Artsakh
State University Manush Minasyan said.
In turn, Bernard Coulie emphasized that the University of Leuven is
one of the world's oldest and unique universities, where a 200-year-old
Department of Armenian Studies is operating.
"I am confident that we can establish cooperation in various fields.
The Declaration is a possible way for Artsakh and the Artsakh
University to be recognized in Europe. The very fact that there is
such a University in Artsakh testifies that the local authorities
pay great importance to education", he said.
Eleni Theocharous and Ioannis Charalampidis stressed that education
is the best way of leading the NKR out of the isolation.
At the end of the meeting, Ioannis Charalampidis and Bernard Coulie
were granted the honorable degrees of Professor and Doctor of the
Artsakh State University for their outstanding achievements in the
scientific and educational spheres and establishments of scientific
relations between the Artsakh State University and the Catholic
