ARMENIA'S FM FORECASTS UNPRECEDENTED FOREIGN POLITICAL ACTIVITY IN 2005
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 22. ARMINFO. 2005 will be the year of unprecedented
foreign political activity for Armenia, says Armenia's FM Vardan
Oskanyan.
Armenia has to complete the development of its individual action plan
in the framework of the new European neighborhood policy. This is a
tremendous work that should be a guideline for our further relations
with EU.
In the framework of its cooperation with NATO Armenia is to present by
Mar-Apr 2005 an individual partnership action plan. The deadlines for
Armenia's honoring its commitments to CE is getting more pressing. "We
are facing serious tasks especially as CE is holding a summit in
May or June so Armenia has to comply with the deadline to make its
position clear," says Oskanyan.
He says that Armenia should not wait for the beginning of the
Turkey-EU talks but should pave the way for raising its interests
during the talks.
In connection with the 60th anniversary of UN Armenia should specify
its position on the package of reforms of this organization adding the
possibility of the conduct of an OSCE summit. There is also the issue
of Karabakh, the Prague Process. "I am convinced that the presidents
will also meet," says Oskanyan noting that there will be many ups
and downs in these processes.
