YEREVAN. – The Southern Corridor should not be allowed to become a source for nourishing a new war, Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan on Friday stated during his address at EU Eastern Partnership Summit being held in Warsaw, Poland. In his address, Sargsyan specifically reflected on energy projects.

“Armenia understands the need for energy safety and securing diversity in energy supply sources for EU countries, but Armenia similarly has the right to expect such understanding with respect to its security, regional stability, and equal development. I believe the policy of EU - the champion of security and peace in South Caucasus—must contribute to equal regional development and, consequently, to maintaining balance. We definitely want for the region to be involved in all-European projects, which in its turn would strengthen existing relations between South Caucasus and EU. Implementation of such projects shall not create conditions which would make any country find itself in more favorable positions, especially when that capital is used against regional security. I believe EU knows the region’s current fragile condition, all too well. The Southern Corridor should not be allowed to become a source for nourishing a new war,” reads President Sargsyan’s message, Presidential Press Service informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.
