YEREVAN. July 28
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan expects EU financial and technical
assistance to Karabakh democratic reforms.
“Democracy is an absolute truth. We welcome the assistance of the
EU in the strengthening of democratic institutions in Karabakh,”
he replied to an Interfax question at a joint press conference with
Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski.
“Karabakh is waiting for such assistance,” Sargsyan said.
Presidential and parliamentary elections in Karabakh meet international
standards, and presidential power is not inherited, he said.
“EU assistance to Karabakh is absolutely necessary,” he said.
Komorowski said in turn that Poland has called for settling complicated
problems on the principles of territorial integrity and rights of
nations to self-determination.
