[Presenter over video of meeting] Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanyan discussed Armenian-Estonian cooperation issues with a
delegation of the Estonian parliament, led by Chairman of the Foreign
Affairs Committee Marko Mihkelson.
Vardan Oskanyan noted that Estonia's admission to the European Union
(EU) is creating new opportunities to develop the Armenian-Estonian
relations. The sides can give a new impetus to the economic relations
using the Armenian-EU agreement on cooperation. In this context, the
sides attached great importance to Armenia's and the South Caucasus
countries' participation in the "Enlarged Europe, the new neighbours"
programme.
The Estonian parliamentarians also met their Armenian
colleagues. Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly Artur Bagdasaryan
received them. He noted that it is expected that the Caucasus agreement
pact will be signed with the support of the political forces of the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), in Strasbourg,
which should be a good basis for the peaceful settlement of the
regional conflicts and the development of political and economic
relations.
