    FOREIGN POLICY OF ARMENIA RECORDS SATISFACTORY RESULTS DURING 2004 –
    ARMENIAN FOREIGN MINISTER

    YEREVAN, December 21. /ARKA/. Foreign policy of Armenia recorded
    satisfactory results during 2004, as Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan
    Oskanian said during his briefing in the National Press Club. "The
    year 2004 was impetuous, intense, full of positive and negative
    moments", he said. In his words, the main attention of the Armenian
    Foreign Ministry was directed to the issues of Eurointegration in the
    frames of EU "Enlarged Europe: New Neighborhood" program. Oskanian
    also mentioned that Armenian Foreign Ministry was widely focusing on
    Armenia-NATO relations. "Both these priorities will be significant
    for Armenia in the future: Caucasus borders approached Europe and
    NATO", he stressed. As for the Karabakh conflict, in words of the
    Armenian Foreign Minister in the year 2004 we recorded alternate
    success. "Particularly, taking of the issue on "occupied lands" to
    the UN agenda may be an obstacle for the negotiating process", he
    said. Oskanian mentioned that during the year 2004 it was possible to
    develop and deepen relations of Armenia with Russia, USA and European
    countries. The year was effective also from point of view of
    Armenia-Diaspora relations.
    He also added that the year 2005 promises to be also active from the
    point of view of the foreign policy of Armenia: the country will
    launch individual program of its partnership with the EU and
    individual action plan with NATO (IPAP). "In 2005 we will face
    serious issues in the Council of Europe: on the regular summit of the
    CE Armenia must acts as a country fully that have fully implemented
    its commitments undertaken to the CE", he said. As for the beginning
    of the negotiations with Turkey on its accession to the EU in October
    2005, Minister stressed that Armenia must present its position fully.
