NKR FOREIGN MINISTER: THERE IS THE SAME SYSTEM OF VALUES IN KARABAKH AS IN EUROPE

YEREVAN, June 15. /ARKA/. There is the same system of values in
Karabakh as in Europe, Nagorno-Karabakh Foreign Minister Armean
Melikyan said in his interview with Armenian Second TV Channel
answering the question about whether NKR intends to join European
integration processes, particularly in the frame of the EU Widened
Neighborhood program. In his opinion, world-vision ground of NKR’s
aspiration to be closer to Europe is obvious. However, it should be
clearly acknowledged that the EU is not a benevolent organization.
“Eurointegration doesn’t mean South Caucasus countries’ membership
in the EU within 10 or 15 years”, the Minister said adding that
Eurointegration-related problems emerged in Europe itself. “I think it
would be better to create preliminary conditions for Eurointegration to
become able to actively participate in the process when time comes”,
Melikyan said in his televised interview. “It is too early to make
optimistic forecasts” he added. M.V. -0–
