European values are a kind of abstract mosaic with diverse mentalities and values. They are not in conflict with one another; on the contrary, they enrich the common European mentality, said Victor Yengibaryan, head of European Movement of Armenia during his interview with the PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. As he says, if we look at certain EU countries, England and Romania, for example, their mentality is too different from each other's and too contradictory, but taken together, they are considered to be part of European mentality.

As Yengibaryan remarks, Armenia's only way out is following European development model and adopting European values. However, if we consider the fact that fundamental values like democracy, human rights, and the ideology of freedom have long been running in our blood, we can easily find the way to implement these values. After 70 years of totalitarian regime, at the stage of the transitional period, we need to have several mechanisms, the most important of which can be said to be education.

"It should be noted that from institutional and technical point of view Armenia has established a legislative system and in this respect we are in advance of all South Caucasus countries and even Western Europe. But from the point of view of how these values are implemented in Armenia, there is room for improvement as Armenia falls behind all countries of Western Europe and South Caucasus," Yengibaryan noted.
