ArmInfo. "Armenia follows European values and we believe that all
human values will be finally established in our region and will unite
the peoples living there and Europe," Foreign Minister of Armenia
Edward Nabandian said during the conference in Yerevan devoted to
the Eastern Partnership Project.

The minister said the Armenian people have centuries-long ties with
Europe. Centuries ago the general history and geography of Armenia and
Europe were more limited and representatives of the Armenian people
made their contribution to the system known as the European Values.

The minister said Europe is now identified with peace, solidarity,
human rights protection and all human values. However, everyone knows
also the high price the European peoples had to pay for that. "Nowhere
else in the world wars and conflicts were as severe as in Europe. That
is why, probably, peace achieved by European peoples is especially
valuable. After so many confrontations and two world wars, Europe
found enough power and will to revive and unite after a century of
enmity between the peoples. And now Europe is a symbol of peace, unity
and solidarity for the international community," the minister said.
