YEREVAN, May 22. /ARKA/. Achievements of the South Caucasus countries in the past 5-6 years show that European integration development is the only right model for the region, according to Director of the Armenian-European Policy and Legal Advice Center (AEPLAC) Tigran Jrbashyan.

The AEPLAC Director stressed the importance of the New European Neighborhood Policy.
