YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 10, ARMENPRESS: The President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan today visited the CANDLE Synchrotron Research Institute and got acquainted with the works of the first stage of CANDLE project, AREAL, and the international cooperation programs of the Institute. After the touring the Institute the President answered Armenpress questions. 

- First, I congratulated the CANDLE Institute staff with the successful exploitation of the AREAL accelerator and I think that it is not the success of only the CANDLE Institute staff but the success and the new opportunity of the scientific community of Armenia. I am very happy that the exploitation of the accelerator became possible due to the cooperation with the authoritative international organizations. It is very important. Today I saw and got certain that this process is demanded and this creates the opportunity for the scientists to continue efficiently their scientific activities. 

- It is obvious that we attentively follow the domestic political processes. In general my appeal and approach to my party partners and the public administration bodies’ representatives is not to accept the proposals and critics as something unfriendly, but take them into account and filter from it all that might be useful.

From this point of view, certainly, the most significant is the document, called by the “parliamentary trio” 12-point-document. They suggested the Government to implement all the points of the document. The Government thoroughly examined it and everybody knows that the Government provided detailed answers on the document. We have the situation, when the parliamentary forces or the trio are not satisfied with those answers. In this situation I think that it would be right, and suggested the Government, to revise the document once more, discuss it point by point and note the concrete processes, with which those points will be implemented. We have only one objective. We should use all the forces to develop our country. Once again I would say that both among my party partners and the state apparatus I am certain that notwithstanding what form the criticism has, the only important thing should be to find something useful in it, which, bringing to life, will improve our situation.

-Mr President, in what stage is the EEU affiliation process?

-We are inclined to accomplish the national process of ratification of the documents package. Huge work has been carried out in the direction of roadmapping. This time too Armenia appeared to be a responsible partner and fulfilled its commitments for that period of time. We have already received the documents package from the government, and are going to send it to the Constitutional Court.
