December 1, 2012 – 15:56 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net – Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan slammed use of
force, xenophobia and racism as outdated in the 21st century, urging
zero tolerance for the latters in the Eastern Partnership territory.
At a joint news conference with the President of the European
Commission José Manuel Barroso, Mr. Sargsyan criticized Turkey, a
member of G20 group for international economic development, for
illegally blocking Armenia’s border, while attempting to join the
European Union.
As he noted, the fact contradicts the logic of partnership, violating
the norms of international law.
`Borders mustn’t be used as marking lines in Europe,’ the President stressed.
